This book is about the usurpation of reason ' s functions by wishes . Two kinds of case are examined in depth ; in one a wish biases the process of rational belief - formation and in the other it biases the process of rational deliberation and action . There is an approximate correspondence between the first kind of distortion and self - deception , and between the second and lack of self - control . The inquiry steers a course between psychology and philosophy . Philosophers usually start from the paradoxes of irrationality : how can anyone knowingly act against his own better judgement ?
Psychologists usually start from the fact that people certainly often appear to do both these things .
The two kinds of irrationality work together when someone biases his beliefs in order to make it easier for himself to succumb to a temptation . In the analysis of such cases and of ordinary cases of wishful thinking with no action in prospect , use is made of recent work by cognitive psychologists , and especially of their distinction between the wishful causation of irrationality not attributable to incompetence and its causation by cold factors .
The usual solution to the paradox of irrational belief - formation is to suggest thot the person is divided against himself . Freud way of dividing a person into different sub - systems is examined at length and something is said about Sartre ' s well - known criticism of it . It is contrasted with theories , like Davidson ' s , which set up the different systems on a functional basis .
The paradox of irrational action , first discussed in our tradition by Socrates ,
introduces the possibility that the fault might occur not within the agent ' s process of thought , but between it and his action .
