Philosophers have been thinking about lying for several thousand
years, yet this topic has only recently become a central area of
academic interest for philosophers of language, epistemologists,
ethicists, and political philosophers. Lying: Language, Knowledge,
Ethics, Politics provides the first dedicated collection of
philosophical essays on the emerging topic of lying. Adopting an
inter-subdisciplinary approach, this volume breaks new
methodological ground in exploring the ways that a better
understanding of language can inform the study of knowledge,
ethics, or politics - and vice-versa. How can we lie when it is
unclear what exactly we believe, or when we have contradictory
beliefs? Can corporations lie, and if so how? Is lying always
wrong, or always at least prima facie wrong? What can one learn
from a liar? Can we lie to mindless machines? These engaging
questions and many more are explored at length in this accessible
reference text.
