  1. 1. Self Deception And Morality

    This book examines the phenomenon of self-deception as a complex moral and psychological phenomenon, arguing that it involves motivated reasoning, selective attention, and often nontransparent intentional processes; it explores how self-deception affects moral responsibility, integrity, and interpersonal relations, weighs its occasional pragmatic benefits against its typical ethical costs, and considers philosophical and practical strategies for recognizing and resisting self-deceptive tendencies to support moral development.
