عبقرية الكذب: أو هل كذب كبار الفلاسفة؟

The book deals with the phenomenon of the genius of lying , by examining the lives of a number of great philosophers and thinkers, and trying to understand the contradictions between their ideas and personal positions, and the image they presented of themselves or that history created for them.

François Nudelmann explores whether some philosophers resorted to lying or concealing aspects of their lives, and whether this necessarily contradicts their philosophical ideas. He discusses the complex relationship between truth, illusion, and self-image , explaining that a philosopher may possess great ideas, but is also a human being governed by desires, fears, and contradictions.

The book offers a critical reading of the lives of philosophers, not with the aim of dismissing their ideas, but to understand the human being behind those ideas, and to reconsider the relationship between philosophy and personal life .
