Rezensionen

"This new book on self-deception by Eric Funkhouser is not a treatise but an introduction to and survey of the field of study. As such, it is the first of its kind and the first book of any sort to be published on self-deception for quite some time. It will be particularly useful for people new to the field, partly for the good job it does of bringing presentable order to the variety of accounts of self-deception that have proliferated in recent decades. But it is also well worth reading for advanced researchers for its very detailed, observant and balanced commentary on a variety of theories and for its many sharp criticisms." - Kevin Lynch, Philosophy

"This book on the perennial and fateful paradox of cognitive dissonance is a philosophical tour de force. It skillfully lays out the general structure of the problems of 'self-deception', integrating philosophical analysis with relevant work in the social sciences. This makes the author's own critique especially illuminating. It deserves to become a standard work." - David Pugmire, University of Southampton, UK

"This is a superb book, ideal for anyone looking for an accessible and systematic introduction to the philosophy and psychology of self-deception. It is well organised, beautifully written, and does a wonderful job of addressing the key issues surrounding this puzzling phenomenon." - Ema Sullivan-Bissett, University of Birmingham, UK
