What is The Ethics of False Assertions about?
The article critiques the justification of false assertions, particularly in the context of defending the unborn and the tactics used by Live Action. It argues that false assertion is always wrong, drawing on Catholic teachings and the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, which emphasizes the intrinsic purpose of assertion as the communication of truth. The authors contend that even in extreme circumstances, such as lying to evildoers, maintaining truth is essential for personal integrity and moral order.
