The Philosophy of Deception by Clancy Martin
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.1MB
Overview: This elegant volume collects fourteen essays that take up, in a wide array of contexts, the issues of deception, self-deception, lying and various other forms of dissimulation. It is an impressive addition to a growing body of work on these topics. With the exception of an assemblage of previously published work by Harry Frankfurt, the essays have not been previously published.[1] Part I is titled “The Practices of Deception and Self-Deception” and Part II is titled “Truth, Lies, and Self-Deception: The Theory and The Ethics.” The editor writes that while the essays of Part I take up the “how” of deception and self-deception and the ways in which these are “actually carried out in human life” (5), the essays of Part II “tend to be more concerned with the theoretical philosophical debates in the literature on deception and self-deception” (ibid.). Perhaps almost inevitably especially given the subject matter this distinction is not always so clear.
