But might our moral judgments be shaped not just by what the action is, but who is doing it? We looked at ratings of moral wrongness, manipulating whether the person doing the action was a friend, a refugee, or a stranger. We looked at these ratings across various moral foundations, and conducted the study in Brazil, US, and UK samples. Our most robust and consistent findings are that purity violations were judged more harshly when committed by ingroup members and less harshly when committed by the refugees in comparison to the unspecified agents, the difference between refugee and unspecified agents decays from liberals to conservatives, i.e., conservatives judge them more harshly than liberals do, and Brazilians participants are harsher than the US and UK participants. Our results suggest that purity violations are judged differently according to who committed them and according to the political ideology of the judges. We discuss the findings in light of various theories of groups dynamics, such as moral hypocrisy, moral disengagement, and the black sheep effect.KEYWORDS: Moral foundations theoryblack sheep effectmoral hypocrisymoral judgmentrefugeesingroupoutgroup Disclosure statementThere were no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with a direct financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript.

I do so by appealing to Carolina Flores’ recent work on the evidence-responsiveness of delusions: by excluding what Flores calls masking factors from the mechanism of reasons-responsiveness, we are able to accommodate the possibility for individuals with delusions to be responsible for their belief. I conclude by motivating that this possibility is one we should care about.KEYWORDS: Delusionsdoxastic responsibilityreasons-responsivenessirrationality AcknowledgementsI am indebted to two anonymous referees for their invaluable comments and challenges on two previous versions of this paper. My thanks also to Miriam Schleifer McCormick for reading and sharing her insights on an early draft.

For the sake of this discussion, I take delusions to be beliefs, following Bortolotti (Citation2012) and Bayne and Pacherie (Citation2005). This view about the nature of delusions is of course debated. This assumption is justified insofar the discussion at hand is only relevant under this assumption, reasons-responsiveness being a property of beliefs and not of acceptances (Dub, Citation2017; Frankish, Citation2009, Citation2012), imaginings (Currie & Ravenscroft, Citation2002), or other entities delusions are sometimes thought to be.2. Against this classic tenet of contemporary epistemology, some philosophers defend a voluntarist position (Peels, Citation2015; Steup, Citation2017).3. McHugh (Citation2017), p. 27514. McHugh (Citation2017), p. 27515. McHugh, following Schleifer McCormick (Citation2011; Schleifer McCormick, Citation2014), Steup (Citation2008) and the original instigators of the Reasons-Responsiveness view, Fischer and Ravizza (Citation1998).6. I suspect that this worry touches on the very much debated question of epistemic agency. Briefly put, the question, “is there genuine epistemic agency?” or put differently, “do we believe for reasons in the same way we act and decide for reasons?” is a dividing and multifaceted one. Engaging with this question is beyond both the scope and the relevance of the present work. Therefore, I prefer not to stir up the hornet’s nest. Let me simply stress that this paper assumes with other scholars working on doxastic responsibility that there is epistemic agency.7. The individuation of mechanism raises, (in)famously, some thorny questions (Ginet, Citation2006; McKenna, Citation2013). They strongly parallel questions involved in what is known in epistemology as the pro","PeriodicalId":47485,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Psychology","volume":" 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135286526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some philosophers of language attribute this to GSKs’ tendency to transmit essentialist beliefs about social kinds. According to these accounts, utterances of GSKs implicate that there is something in the nature of social kinds that causes them to possess the properties described, and that individual members of these social kinds therefore ought to exhibit (or be expected to exhibit) these properties. Here, I draw on empirical evidence to suggest an alternative account. According to my framework, an utterance of a GSK implicates a distinction between the social kind described and its salient conceptual opposite, producing what I call a dichotomizing perspective. For example, “women are emotional” suggests that men are not. Importantly, such distinctions frequently persist in the societal common ground as a function of social power, in part due to their alignment with hierarchical social structures between dichotomized social kinds. This enables such GSKs to perpetuate biased patterns of attention, expectation, and behavior even in the absence of essentialist belief.KEYWORDS: Genericssocial kindspragmaticspsychological essentialismdichotomizing perspectivesocial structure AcknowledgementsThank you to Dan Weiskopf for the sustained support, insightful conversation, and many rounds of patient, thoughtful feedback.
