From wiki, article on Kant:

"With lying, it would logically contradict the reliability of language. ... Kant denied the right to lie for any reason, regardless of context or anticipated consequences."

On the other hand, in the British Isles, they started the tradition to distinguish between lies and _white_ lies, where ´white´ is metaphorical.
