The paper “Why Having One’s Rationality Openly Exploited Might Be Considered Manipulation” by Bart Kamphorst and Annemarie Kalis has been published in “Tijdschrift voor Filosofie” (the Dutch/Belgian journal of Philosophy). In the paper, which was written in response to Daniel Dennett’s 2012 Praemium Erasmianum Essay Erasmus: Sometimes a Spin Doctor is Right, it is argued that the criterion for distinguishing between manipulation and non-manipulative influence cannot just be whether one’s rationality is involved. This is because such a view fails to consider the many factors that implicitly weigh on a person’s rational decision-making processes. The paper is accompanied by a commentary by Daniel Dennett.
