No es que me hayas mentido lo que más me conmueve, sino que yo jamás te volveré a creer: A propósito de la mentira como problema moral

Abstract

This paper defends a central claim: Lie is powerful and persistent in culture –against all moral rules that intend its annihilation– because it finds its strongest root in the basic drifts of human beings, scil.: pleasure, love and hate. In addition, this article develops some kind of taxonomy of lie and its diverse theories. It is delineated, in this paper, some kind of “realist Ethics” concerning the topic.
