I was teaching virtue and knowledge while lying on the side
An academic teaching Aristotle’s virtue ethics admitted to personal deception during a three-month period, highlighting the struggle between theory and practice in ethical behavior.
- Soon after moving to Florida, Katherine Moses accepted a permanent philosophy job and privately deceived her long-term partner, Tyler, in their new house.
- Katherine Moses, newly settled in Florida, felt untethered after her move and her partner's seasonal work in Canada, prompting her to dance with others and hide encounters from him.
- At night, Katherine Moses danced with other men, omitted telling Tyler about encounters, drove two hours late at night, stopped sharing phone location, and left the engagement ring unopened in a drawer.
- Katherine Moses warns that revealing the truth to Tyler would require admitting degrading, shameful acts, and she states deceptions will ultimately erode trust and relationships.
- She frames her episode using Aristotle's account of truthfulness and notes support from the John Templeton Foundation's Honesty Project.
