More about the book
Exploring the complexities of self-knowledge and self-deception, this book introduces the 'cognitive ascent model' to clarify the nuances of self-awareness and epistemic privilege. By applying a transparency principle, it argues that genuine first-personal knowledge of attitudes arises from attributing value to intentional objects. The author critiques traditional views like inner sense and constitutivism, positing that self-deception stems from metacognitive failures rather than a lack of awareness, leading to beliefs that persist despite contrary evidence.
