Industry Reviews

"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." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "14 excellent, highly representative essays on the longstanding philosophical debates over deception/self-deception." --CHOICE "Especially impressive is the balance achieved by the authors between the discussions of the theoretical aspects of deception and the common everyday manifestations of it, an important point which will draw readers from various backgrounds and not just the philosophically trained ones. The contributions by the late Robert C. Solomon, Harry Frankfurt, William Ian Miller, Mark A. Wrathall, David Sherman, Kelly Oliver and Paul Ekman are outstanding examples of analyses of the ways in which lies and lying influence us and our orientation in the world."--Metapsychology
