"Self-deception" Description:

The Open Library:

"This new edition of Herbert Fingarette's classic study in philosophical psychology now includes a provocative recent essay on the topic by the author.". "How can one deceive oneself if the very idea of deception implies that the deceiver knows the truth? The resolution of this paradox leads Fingarette to fundamental insights into the mind at work. He questions our basic ideas of self and the unconscious, personal responsibility, and our ethical categories of guilt and innocence. Fingarette applies these ideas to the philosophies of Sartre and Kierkegaard, as well as to Freud's psychoanalytic theories and to contemporary research into neurosurgery. Included in this new edition, Fingarette's most recent essay, "Self-Deception Needs No Explaining" (1998), challenges the ideas in the extant literature."--BOOK JACKET.
