Description
Summary:My article is critical of current attempts to find a technical category of „self-deception“ in a wide range of hamartiological reflections such as those of Kant, Pascal, Kierkegaard or Augustine, and it pleads for handling the category with care. For this I take two steps. First, I show that the introduction of a technical category of „self-deception“ (or „self-deceit“) drew on quite specific and deeply problematic theoretical premises and did not even aim to be phenomenologically particularly apt. In a second step, I focus on Augustine in order to show that current attempts to identify a central notion of „self-deception“ in his work are problematic and that, at least in his case, our category conceals more than it illuminates.
