| Allen Wood | Kant and the Right to Lie Kant's essay "On a Presumed Right to Lie from Philanthropy" (1797), is widely held to advocate an unreasonably extreme position about the prohibition on lying. I argue that his position is not what it is commonly taken to be, and that it is quite reasonable. |
