For the first time, one broadly accessible volume pulls together classic philosophical debates on deception with examinations of contemporary issues, including stock market fraud and terrorism. \u003ci\u003eDeception\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique perspective on the state of the art: readers will find scholars from biology and physics in conversation with experts in mass media and culture, and archaeologists engaged with ideas from military strategists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the essays make clear, deception touches virtually every aspect of our lives; in fact, recent psychological research suggests that we each tell at least two to three lies per day. Throughout the animal kingdom, survival and reproduction depend upon successful deceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut while deception has captured the interest of philosophers, scientists, warriors, and artists over thousands of years, our knowledge of the subject is limited. At the same time, new technologies have made deception more commonplace, more dangerous, and more difficult to detect than ever. \u003ci\u003eDeception\u003c\/i\u003e is a particularly timely and insightful work. Its scope and subject make it compelling reading for a broad readership. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrooke Harrington is Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute in Cologne, Germany.
