| Abstract |
In their paper published in 2017 in Philosophical Psychology,
Ronja Rutschmann and Alex Wiegmann introduce a novel kind
of lies, the indifferent lies. According to them, these lies are not
intended to deceive simply because the liars do not care
whether their audience is going to believe them or not. It
seems as if indifferent lies avoid the objections raised against
other kinds of lies supposedly not intended to deceive. I argue
that this is not correct. Indifferent lies, too, are either intended to
deceive or are not lies at all, since they do not involve genuine
assertions
