In his influentiаl wоrk On Bullshit Hаrry Frаnkfurt cоncludes that "... sincerity itself is Bullshit." In what fоllows I am going to roughly outline Frankfurt's final argument leading to this conclusion, and then I will provide some questions about his argument for you to engage with. Frankfurt contrasts Bullshit with lying in terms of its relation to truth. He says "The bullshitter ignores these demands [to truth] altogether. He does not reject the authority of the truth as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of truth than lies are." According to Frankfurt, a Liar takes joy in deceiving people, whereas simple lying is something someone does unwillingly because of a circumstance they are in. It is this reality that "...telling lies does not tend to unfit a person for telling the truth in the same way that bullshitting tends to." Frankfurt continues, and tries to give an explanation for why bullshit is so common in our contemporary society. He says "The contemporary proliferation of bullshit also has deeper sources, in various form of skepticism which deny that we can have any reliable access to an objective reality and which therefore reject the possibility of knowing how things truly are." The consequence of the skepticism is that our own subjective realities take priority over what the truth external to us is. This turn from objective to subjective reality has had a common effect of shifting our focus towards ideals based on what is outside of us (objective) to ideals based on what is inside us (subjective). "One response to this loss of confidence has been a retreat from the discipline required by dedication to the ideal of correctness to a quite different sort of discipline, which is imposed by pursuit of an alternative ideal of sincerity." So, sincerity according to Frankfurt is defined as something based on our own internal state. It is how confident we are in our answer based on our own subjective experience without reference to the objective world. Frankfurt himself is skeptical that we are the ones (with only our subjective reality as a the only point of confidence) who determine the way in which things are. And while we might know some things about ourselves it is unlikely, that our self knowledge is so extensive that it could ever determine the truth. Frankfurt says, "There is nothing in theory, and certainty nothing in experience, to support the extraordinary judgment that it is the truth about himself that is the easiest for a person to know. " This lead Frankfurt to conclude that sincerity is bullshit. Now for you two enter into the conversation. There are two options below, that you can take as lines of engagement. Disagree with Frankfurt. Explain why it is the case that sincerity is not bullshit. Provide a compelling counterexample, and then defend that counterexample from what you foresee as objections to it. A solid counter example is one with that is clearly a case of sincerity in the sense described by Frankfurt, and also not a case of bullshit. This is to get you started by rebuffing his conclusion. Then show point by point how Frankfurt's argument goes wrong. This will involve Are their ambiguous terms? How do these weaken his argument. Are some of the proposition false or entail a contradiction. Give examples and support why they are false. Does his argument take unreasonable leaps? Does one thing not follow from another and why? Agree with Frankfurt. Explain why sincerity is bullshit. Specify possible objections to each of the points that Frankfurt makes, and then defend his points from those objections. Might someone argue that one of his terms are ambiguous? Then clarify those terms so that his conclusion still follows. Might someone argue that one of the premises of his argument are false? Then give examples as to why those premises are true, and how to defend the truth of those premises further. Might someone argue that his conclusion does not follow from his premises? Then show why it makes the most sense that the conclusion does follow. This may seem like alot. Take a deep breath. You will be graded on clarity, and your solid engagement with each of the areas of your answer (not on your answer being "correct"). This is really just practical experience in doing philosophy. Happy Philosophizing!
