Czy efekt efektu ubocznego dotyczy pojęć?

Abstract

According to Knobe’s own explanation of the side-effect findings, folk beliefs about the moral status of a behavior have an influence on their intuitions about whether or not the behavior was performed intentionally (Knobe 2006). I challenge this view. I show that the side-effect effect occurs also in cases where the action is described with a non-existing word or a word that does not make any sense in the context of the action description. I conclude that we should look for alternative explanations of the side-effect effects that would not assume that they are generated by folk understanding of the concept of intentionality as intimately bound up with moral considerations.
