The Saving Lie: Truth and Method in the Social Sciences

Explores the distinction between selflessness and self-interestedness, between acting for one's own advantage and acting, even when disadvantageous, for reasons of duty or conscience. This book aims to show that both versions are convenient fictions, with instrumental rather than ontological significance - they are not about truth but about power.
