Cambridge philosophy professor Simon Blackburn was the author of "Think", which dealt with the concept of free will. In his latest book "Truth: A Guide", he looks at the nature of truth; what constitutes a lie and is lying ever acceptable. He also mentions his book "Lust", in which he asserts that lust can in fact be a virtue, not a vice. (Originally aired March 2008).
