Two moral questions ·
(1) Does liar have right to be told truth? (2) Are we more justified in lying to a liar?

Author's view ·
Liar forfeits right to truth, but we shouldn't automatically lie to him
We need to consider potential harm to ourselves and society when considering whether to lie to him.

View derived from Kant ·
Acting toward someone as they have acted toward others treats that person as a rational being
P6
████ ████ ██ █████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ████ █ ████ ██ ██ ██ █████████ ████ ████ ████ █████ █████ ████ ███████ ██ █████████ ████ ███ ███████ ███ ████████ ███████ ███
Potential implication ·
Some might think we have a duty to act toward someone as they have acted to others
Author's view ·
Not a duty; but we're authorized to act toward someone as they have acted toward others
If a rational person does something to another person, he authorizes others to do the same to him.
