The submitted link goes to a brief review of a recently published collection of essays; however, there's a table of contents and an abstract for each essay in the book itself available here[1]. I picked up Sissela Bok's book Lying[2] a few years ago. While in someways it echoes the old "categorical imperative" argument (lying is wrong because you wouldn't want to live in a world where everyone routinely lies) I found it to be much more nuanced than Kant's heavy handed and inflexible system. There are in-depth discussions of paternalistic lies, lying to dying patients, lying to protect confidentiality, and much more.
