Raphael Sassower examines the concept of hypocrisy for its
strategic potential as a means of personal protection and social
cohesion. Given the contemporary context of post-truth, the
examination of degrees or kinds of hypocrisy moves from the Greek
etymology of masks worn on the theater stage to the Hebrew
etymology of the color adjustment of chameleons to their
environment. Canonical presuppositions about the uniformity of the
mind and the relation between intention and behavior that warrant
the charge of hypocrisy are critically reconsidered in order to
appreciate both inherent inconsistencies in personal conduct and
the different contexts where the hypocrisy appears. Sassower
considers the limits of analytic moral and political discourses
that at times overlook the conditions under which putative
hypocritical behavior is existentially required and where
compromises yield positive results. When used among friends, the
charge of hypocrisy is a useful tool with which to build trust and
communities.
