Creeped Out
In Uriah Kriegel, Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind Vol 5. Oxford: Oxford University Press. pp. 213-229 (2026)
Abstract
This paper examines both creepiness and the distinctive reaction had to creepiness, being “creeped out.” The paper defends a response-dependent account of creepiness in terms of this distinctive reaction, contrasting our preferred account to others that might be offered. The paper concludes with a discussion of the value of detecting creepiness.Author Profiles
