TY - JOUR T1 - Autonomy, nudging and post-truth politics JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 721 LP - 722 DO - 10.1136/medethics-2017-104616 VL - 44 IS - 10 AU - Geoff Keeling Y1 - 2018/10/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/44/10/721.abstract N2 - In his excellent essay, ‘Nudges in a post-truth world’, Neil Levy argues that ‘nudges to reason’, or nudges which aim to make us more receptive to evidence, are morally permissible. A strong argument against the moral permissibility of nudging is that nudges fail to respect the autonomy of the individuals affected by them. Levy argues that nudges to reason do respect individual autonomy, such that the standard autonomy objection fails against nudges to reason. In this paper, I argue that Levy fails to show that nudges to reason respect individual autonomy. ER -
