On Bull Shit by Frankfurt and "A Few Kind Words for Bullshit" by Eubanks and Schaeffer

Unfortunately everytime I went to Panther bookstore they were out of On Bullshit by Frankfurt but I did "A Few Kind Words for Bullshit" By Eubanks and Schaeffer. They argue that the term academic bullshit puts teachers in a tough spot because they study, teach and produce adademic writing. they are open to the accusation that they both tolerate and advance academic bullshit. They argue that confronting this problem must begin with a careful definition of "bullshit" and "academic bullshit." They suggest that academic bullshit is unavoiable but could also be beneficial to the students
