232: Self-Deception

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/self-deception. Self-deception sounds like a contradiction: intentionally convincing yourself of something you know to be untrue. But it is a pervasive aspect of human nature. What is the nature of self-deception, and what are its main patterns? Does it serve any purpose? Ken and John confront the truths of self-deception with Neil Van Leeuwen from the University of Johannesburg.
