Held in the CAPSTRANS Seminar Room 1003 (Building 19, Arts) on Tuesdays at 17.30, all are welcome. 27th October 2009 Dr. Jordi Fernandez (Adelaide) "Self-Deception and Self-Knowledge" My aim will be to provide an account of self-deception based on a certain model of self-knowledge. According to this model, our thoughts about our own beliefs are based on our grounds for those beliefs. If this model is correct, then our thoughts about which beliefs we have should be in accordance with our grounds for having those beliefs. I suggest that self-deception is a failure of self-knowledge wherein the subject violates this epistemic obligation. I argue that this view of self-deception explains the tension that we observe between the subject's speech and her actions as well as our inclination to hold the subject responsible for her condition.
