lies, social networks, cognitive biases, moral truthAbstract
What happens if we shift the classical philosophical perspective on the problem of lying from intersubjective communication to lying as a public process? We concentrate on a few areas: business, science, and public media. Next we focus on specific tendencies emerging in the social media. Since these phenomena cause deep going and profound worries, we try to survey possible remedies.
