Philosophically I would disagree that lying assumes malice. We don't really have a word in english to describe "lying without malice", and I suspect the reason why is because we don't recognize a significant enough difference between them to warrant its own word.
- FiddlyPack 7y ago“Lying without malice” is called “tact.”
- jalgos_eminator 7y agoNot sure what dictionary you got that out of, but to me "tact" means to tell someone something in a less abrasive way, or politely. Tact is about how the information is presented, not the content of it.
