On Truth

On Truth is a 2006 book by Harry Frankfurt, a follow-up to his 1986 essay, On Bullshit.[1] It develops the argument that people should care about truth, regardless of intent to be truthful. It explicitly avoids defining "truth" beyond the concept commonly held, which corresponds to reality.[2]
