A Lie Never Justifiable (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169249646)

""A Lie Never Justifiable"" is a book written by H. Clay Trumbull that delves into the ethical and moral implications of lying. Trumbull argues that lying is never justifiable, regardless of the circumstances. He explores the various reasons people lie, such as to protect themselves or others, to gain an advantage, or to avoid punishment. Trumbull also examines the consequences of lying, both for the liar and for those around them. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in personal and professional relationships and provides practical advice for avoiding the temptation to lie. This book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in ethics, morality, and the power of truth.Because of the obvious gain in lying in times of extremity, and because of the manifest peril or cost of truth-telling in an emergency, attempts have been made, by interested or prejudiced persons, all along the ages, to reconcile the general duty of adhering to an absolute standard of right, with the special inducements, or temptations, to depart from that standard for the time being. It has been claimed by many that the results of a lie would, under certain circumstances, justify the use of a lie.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
