Truth and Lies: Exploring the Ethics of Honesty and Deception

From the ancient Sophists to today's debates on misinformation, the struggle between truth and lies has shaped every society. Beginning with Protagoras and the Sophists' bold claim that 'man is the measure of all things, ' this book traces how philosophers have defended, challenged, and reimagined the meaning of truth.

Plato and Aristotle sought foundations for honesty and justice, Kant insisted on truth as a moral duty, Nietzsche exposed the dangers of comforting illusions, and modern thinkers continue the debate. Each perspective reveals how honesty and deception are never merely private choices, but forces that shape trust, justice, and the common good.

Clear, concise, and engaging, Truth and Lies is written for students, educators, and curious readers alike. It makes complex philosophy accessible, showing why the question of truth remains urgent in an age of half-truths, spin, and disinformation.
