Is Lying on Dating Apps Wrong?

GOETHE-INSTITUT
About this episode

What subjects did Kant explore in his works? What questions did he seek to answer? In our fourth episode of Kant Talk 2.0, we explore Kant’s moral philosophy and its relevance to the modern world of digital dating.

We have invited Prof. Dieter Schönecker, a Kant expert from the University of Siegen in Germany. Together, we’ll uncover what Kant’s philosophy reveals about honesty and deception on dating apps. Would Kant consider lying on these platforms morally wrong, or could he permit “white lies”?

Join us as we examine how Kant’s moral philosophy can guide us through the complexities of online honesty and integrity in today’s digital landscape.
