"With a new chapter"
This new edition of Herbert Fingarette's classic study in
philosophical psychology now includes a provocative recent essay on
the topic by the author. A seminal work, the book has deeply
influenced the fields of philosophy, ethics, psychology, and
cognitive science, and it remains an important focal point for the
large body of literature on self-deception that has appeared since
its publication.
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.
