Philosophy Now! Is honesty (always) the best policy? That depends!

From Nights, 9:15 pm on 13 June 2024

We all have a life, but what should we do with it?

Dan Weijers is a senior lecturer in philosophy at the University of Waikato. Every month on Nights, he'll be unpacking some of life's big issues, whether it’s love, death, happiness, or whether it's morally right to keep a pet goldfish.

Tonight Dan is exploring the vexed question Is honesty always the best policy, and asks the question if you've cheated on your partner, should you admit to it and tell them?

Liar, lying
