Dogwhistles and Figleaves
It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more filled with wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores certain ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role. Some dogwhistles (such as “88,”…
Dogwhistles, Political Manipulation, and Philosophy of Language
This essay explores the speech act of dogwhistling (sometimes referred to as ‘using coded language’). Dogwhistles may be overt or covert, and within each of these categories may be intentional or unintentional. Dogwhistles are a powerful form of political speech, allowing people to be manipulated in ways they would resist if the manipulation was carried outmore openly—often drawing on racist attitudes that are consciously rejected. If philosopher…
Negligent Falsehood, White Ignorance, and False News
There has been considerable attention in philosophy to the deliberate propagation of falsehoods, either through their assertion (as in lying); or through implicating them by way of true assertions (as in misleading). But there are other important ways that falsehoods are propagated. This chapter focuses on ways that falsehoods may be negligently propagated by true utterances, with a particular focus on what happens when this occurs in communities…
Implicit Bias and Philosophy, Volume 1
Implicit Bias and Philosophy Vol. 1
Implicit Bias and Philosophy, Volume 2
At the University of Sheffield between 2011 and 2012, a leading group of philosophers, psychologists, and others gathered to explore the nature and significance of implicit bias. The two volumes of Implicit Bias and Philosophy emerge from these workshops. Each volume philosophically examines core areas of psychological research on implicit bias as well as the ramifications of implicit bias for core areas of philosophy. Volume II: Moral Responsibi…
Implicit Bias, Stereotype Threat, and Women in Philosophy
There is by now a well-established body of research in psychology showing that human beings are strongly influenced by a range of unconscious biases and dispositions related to categories like race, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, etc. So far, there has been little to no empirical work on whether philosophers are influenced by these biases. But given that philosophers are human beings, it seems very likely that they are. This paper expl…
Lying, Misleading, and What is Said
Many people (both philosophers and not) find it very natural to think that deceiving someone in a way that avoids lying — by merely misleading — is morally preferable to simply lying. Others think this preference is deeply misguided. But all sides agree that there is a distinction. In this book, I undertake a close examination of the lying/misleading distinction. First, I use this very intuitive distinction to shed new light on entrenched debates…
Subordination, Silencing, and Two Ideas of Illocution

On Treating Things as People
On Treating Things as People
This article discusses recent feminist arguments for the possible existence of an interesting link between treating things as people (in the case of pornography) and treating people (especially women) as things. It argues, by way of a historical case study, that the connection is more complicated than these arguments have supposed. In addition, the essay suggests some possible general links between treatment of things and treatment of people
Objectification, pornographie et l’histoire du vibromasseur. Traiter les choses comme des personnes et les personnes comme des choses
Cet article discute les arguments féministes récents selon lesquels il pourrait y avoir un lien entre le fait de traiter les choses comme des personnes (particulièrement dans le cas de la pornographie) et celui de traiter les personnes (particulièrement les femmes) comme des choses. Autrement dit, ces arguments soutiennent qu’il existe un lien entre l’objectification (traiter les personnes comme des choses) et ce que j’appelle la « personnificati…
