Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Fingarette's book on the topic is so firmly and deservedly entrenched it is 'essential reading.'"—Roger Squires, Editor, The Philosophical Quarterly

"It was Herbert Fingarette, in his book Self-Deception, who made the theme of self-identity central in thinking about self-deception. . . . Quite simply, it is the most important single work on the topic. It is a classic that merits staying in print for many years to come." Mike W. Martin, author of Self-Deception and Self-Understanding

"Since 1962 our writings on self-deception have been largely directed at the two philosophers who are to be thanked most justly and warmly for keeping interest in self-deception alive: Professor Herbert Fingarette of the University of Cailfomia, Santa Barbara, and the late Jean-Paul Sartre." —John King-Farlow and Richard Bosley

"The best treatment of self-deception I know to date remains that of Herbert Fingarette in Self-Deception."—Ronald B. deSousa, Professor of Philosophy, University of Toronto

"A classic." —Robert C. Solomon, author of The Passions
