Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the prevalence of lying in society, drawing a sharp distinction between pernicious lies and those that are merely ocious or jocose. The author argues that while the latter may not be seen as harmful, they nonetheless undermine trust and damage relationships. The author examines how ocious and jocose lies are viewed in different cultures and historical periods, offering insights into their social and psychological implications. Ultimately, the book aims to shed light on the importance of truthfulness and the corrosive effects of lying, regardless of its intent.
