A Lie Never Justifiable (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419102028)

""A Lie Never Justifiable"" is a book written by H. Clay Trumbull that explores the topic of lying and its moral implications. The author argues that lying is never justifiable, regardless of the situation or the intentions behind it. Trumbull provides examples from history, literature, and everyday life to illustrate his point and to show the harmful effects of lying on individuals and society as a whole. The book also offers practical advice on how to avoid lying and how to deal with situations where telling the truth may be difficult or uncomfortable. Overall, ""A Lie Never Justifiable"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that challenges readers to examine their own beliefs about honesty and integrity.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.
