In one condition, we asked whether the speaker lied, in another whether what s/he said was true or false. Although DIs can be considered borderline cases (true on the explicit level, false on the implicit level), we found a high degree of similarity between the ten countries.

Moreover, lie and falsity attributions correlated strongly in our between-subjects design. In a follow-up experiment (in only three countries), we found this strong correlation also with a within-subject design design. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

@edouardmachery.bsky.social

In our main experiment, we presented participants from ten countries (Chile, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, UK, US) with ten cases of deceptive implicatures (DIs). DIs are literally true but can nevertheless trick the hearer into a false belief.

Randomly discovered that I have a signed book by Daniel Dennett 🤯 (the book was left, among others, in the office of a former colleague)

Two points of our motivation: 1. Reclaiming the means of production 😉 (scientists doing the work, whereas publishers making the money by charging the people whose taxes are used to pay the scientists does not seem right)

Alex Wiegmann@alexwiegmann.bsky.social

🔥Exciting news in experimental philosophy🔥 Very happy to announce that there will be soon a new journal named “Experimental Philosophy”. It will be open access, free of charge for authors and follow all Open Science principles. Editors and Editorial Board below. More information coming soon...

2. Experimental philosophers often have to compromise: Publishing in empirical journal often means to cut the philosophical aspects, while publishing in philosophy often comes with cuts regarding the empirical aspects

We are very grateful to the “Fachinformationsdienst Philosophie” who provides the hosting environment and helps to get the whole thing starting. We hope this and similar initiatives will become popular soon.

Certain scenarios pose significant challenges when it comes to moral evaluation. However, one country attacking another, innocent nation does not fall into this category.

🚨paper alert🚨 with Emanuel Viebahn Can you lie with pictures? Some (says-based) theories deny this possibility but lay people clearly think you can lie with pictures – and in at least three different ways. Forthcoming in AJP. Short thread with link to paper below.

View full thread

Three candidates for lying with pictures: 1. Content lie: Manipulation of the picture (removing the scratch via Photoshop) 2. Target lie: Picture is not manipulated, but taken when there was no scratch yet 3. Misleading: The picture shows the side of the bike without the scratch

Lay people clearly think you can lie with pictures in form of a Content lie and a Target lie, and also tend to agree that deceiving in form of 3. constitutes lying.
