A philosopher reads books
I saw that article too. It was interesting, but it seemed to make a lot of philosophical assumptions, like "White lies are just as bad as big lies."(I'm not necessarily disputing that, just observing that it may not be true. Maybe a philosopher with a focus in virtue ethics could address that?)I'm just glad that my kids don't lie. : D
That's definitely an interesting article. But I have also noticed my dog's tendency to try to deceive me. He always gets off the couch when I come in the room and acts like he hasn't been on it. I guess honesty is a learned value.
