    How would you deconstruct the idea of 'bad faith'? It's a concept that feels in need of deconstruction and pithy redefinition like Harry Frankfurt with 'bullshit' ("indifference to truth/falsity"). Here's a starter link with some food for thought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith

        My first attempt: bad faith is the operating assumption that a counterparty is not as interested in the truth as you are, which therefore justifies deceptive practices on your part

        for real though: i think schopenhauer, in line with the stoics (and analogous to the Buddhists) constructed bad faith as a perennial crisis of the ego, projected into vaporous attachments, antagonisms, and anxieties--which make truth-seeking disciplines seem ephemeral & pointless

        Bad faith is intention to breach the rules for an interaction, often, but not necessarily, grounded on presumption that other parties in the interaction have said intention

        Bad faith: when worldviews differ, duplicity is just.

        Alternatively: you aren't ethically responsible for anyone's assumptions — not even your own.

        Any violation of the operating rules for an interaction, a misuse of the system. In arguments, it's most commonly that the arguer isn't interested in using evidence and reason to discover the truth and conducts themselves accordingly

        The most common form it takes in arguments might be described as "strawmaning yourself"

        The essence of bad faith is to use good faith to delay detection of cheating. This can come when the punishment for cheating will be less or deferred enough to justify the upside. Or more interestingly when you pretend to play one game while actually playing another.
