Self-Knowledge and Self-Deception cover

The aim of this book is to acquire a better understanding of the question 'who am I?' By means of the concepts of self-knowledge and self-deception questions about the self are studied. The light in which its topic is seen is the light of love, the light in which other people really become visible and so oneself in one's relation to them.

“Self-Knowledge and Self-Deception, while well written and engaging, is a scholarly work filled with references … . the author is quite good at guiding the reader by being very explicit about what he aims at, noting how he differs from Socrates, and so forth. … Students who have a certain level of mastery of philosophy and its concepts will enjoy this book, as will other philosophers who are grappling with similar topics.” (Finn Janning, Metapyschology, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net, April, 2016)
