Turning Sisela Bok's defense of truth in her book \u003ci\u003eLying\u003c\/i\u003e on its head, Jeremy Campbell argues that deception should no longer be seen as artificial or deviant, but as a natural part of our world. Beginning with a study of evolutionary biology and the necessity (and ultimate value) of deceit in the animal kingdom, Campbell asks the difficult question of whether falsehood might, in fact, be instinctual. Guiding the reader through classical philosophy to more contemporary thinkers such as Freud and Nietzsche, Campbell links a multitude of disciplines and ideas in lucid and engaging prose. Unsettling some of our most firmly held beliefs about truth and ethics, \u003ci\u003eThe Liar's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting work of intellectual history. \"This challenging romp through the underbelly of intellectual history...is fascinating and troublesome.\"—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \"[A] beautifully written book....a crisp and remarkably readable discussion.\"—John Frohnmayer, \u003ci\u003eThe Wilson Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremy Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Liar’s Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWinston Churchill’s Afternoon Nap\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Grammatical Man\u003c\/i\u003e.
