Summary
Honesty is an important virtue, yet philosophers have said almost nothing about the virtue of honesty in the past fifty years. This book aims to draw attention to this surprisingly neglected virtue. It first provides a theory of honesty, looking at honest behaviour, motivation, and thinking. From there it turns to relevant empirical research, and explores how most people are neither good enough to count as honest nor bad enough to count as dishonest.
