Description
Explore the complex ethical questions surrounding lying through the work of ethicist Sissela Bok, who argues that only a few situations may justify deception. Examine the harmful effects of lies on individuals, relationships, and society, asking what motivates people to lie, why deception is often successful, and who benefits from falsehoods.
We also consider philosophical perspectives that treat lying and deceit as inherently wrong. What are the reasons these thinkers give for why lying is considered evil? Through discussion and analysis, we challenge our own views on truth, trust, and the moral boundaries of honesty.
