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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFingarette applies these ideas to the philosophies of Sartre and Kierkegaard, as well as to Freud's psychoanalytic theories and to contemporary research into neurosurgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this new edition, Fingarette's most recent essay, \"Self-Deception Needs No Explaining (1998),\" challenges the ideas in the extant literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000738037996,"sku":"9780520220522","price":50.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5425553482373.jpg?v=1763301509","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/self-deception-by-herbert-fingarette-9780520220522","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
