Title: | Pure Hypocrisy | Contributor(s): | Lynch, Anthony J (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 2012 | DOI: | 10.5840/pcw201219114 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12660 | Abstract: | We argue that two main accounts of hypocrisy - the deception-based and the moral-non-seriousness-based account - fail to capture a specific kind of hypocrite who is morally serious and sincere "all the way down." The kind of hypocrisy exemplified by this hypocrite is irreducible to deception, self-deception or a lack of moral seriousness. We call this elusive and peculiar kind of hypocrisy, pure hypocrisy. We articulate the characteristics of pure hypocrisy and describe the moral psychology of two kinds of pure hypocrites. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Philosophy in the Contemporary World, 19(1), p. 32-43 | Publisher: | Philosophy Documentation Center | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 2153-3377 1077-1999 |
