Self-deception is both a common phenomenon of everyday life and a topic of great interest for philosophers since the time of Socrates. A self-deceiver seems in fact to behave irrationally if compared to someone striving to know herself and capable of producing the right reasons for her actions. But how can we properly speak of the "rightness" of reasons, and how can we characterize irrationality? Davidson's reflections on these issues are presented.

Abstract
Self-deception is both a common phenomenon of everyday life and a topic of great interest for philosophers since the time of Socrates. A self-deceiver seems in fact to behave irrationally if compared to someone striving to know herself and capable of producing the right reasons for her actions. But how can we properly speak of the "rightness" of reasons, and how can we characterize irrationality? Davidson's reflections on these issues are presented.File in questo prodotto:
