This, the first full analysis of Arbuthnot's Art of Political Lying
(1712), argues that the work is a commentary on long-standing
themes of debate in science, rhetoric and philosophy and should be
seen as a seminal satire standing in opposition to the practice of
Swift and Pope. Rather than simply condemning dishonesty, Arbuthnot
raises serious questions about the elusive nature of truth in
politics. The argument thus traverses literary analysis,
intellectual history and philosophy. An original version of the Art
of Political Lying , based on English and French editions is
supplied in the appendix.
