Rate My Professor Vladimir Krstić

Krstić's research centers on philosophy of deception, including lying, self-deception, manipulation, assertion, and intending to cause beliefs, as well as philosophy of mind and language. He has published extensively in leading philosophy journals. Key works include his 2025 book Deception and Self-Deception: a Unified Account (Cambridge University Press), articles such as A Functional Analysis of Human Deception (2024, Journal of the American Philosophical Association), Manipulation, Deception, the Victim’s Reasoning, and Her Evidence (2024, Analysis), Bald-Faced Lying to Institutions: Deception or Manipulation (2024, Synthese), On the Connection between Lying, Asserting, and Intending to Cause Beliefs (2025, Inquiry), and On the Function of Self-Deception (2021, European Journal of Philosophy). Additional contributions cover experimental analyses of bald-faced lies (2024, Erkenntnis, with Alex Wiegmann), transparent delusion (2023, Review of Philosophy and Psychology), and interdisciplinary topics like a pre-biblical version of the Cain and Abel story (2024, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament). His scholarship advances understandings of deception in human interpersonal relations, deepfakes, and biological signaling.
