Frankfurt originally published the essay "On Bullshit" in the Raritan Quarterly Review journal in 1986. Nineteen years later, the essay was published as the book On Bullshit (2005), which proved popular among lay readers; the book appeared for 27 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list,[3] and was discussed on the television show The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,[4][5] as well as in an interview with a representative of the publisher, Princeton University Press.[6][7] On Bullshit served as the basis for Frankfurt's follow-up book On Truth (2006).
