There is a large literature on friendship, but next to nothing about enemyship. This article examines enemyship and asks two questions: 1. Is there anything intrinsically good about having an enemy? 2. Would a good person ever have enemies? doi.org/10.1017/apa.20…

🧠 New article: A Functional Analysis of Self-Deception doi.org/10.1017/apa.20… Intentional self-deception is paradoxical. Accidental self-deception seems implausible. This paper says self-deception occurs when your behavior misleads you, whether or not you meant it to.
