As pathologies of belief, delusions and self-deception raise many of the same challenges for those seeking to understand them. Are delusions and self-deception entirely distinct phenomena, or might some forms of self-deception also qualify as delusional? To what extent might models of self-deception and delusion share common factors? In what ways do affect and motivation enter into normal belief-formation, and how might they be implicated in self-deception and delusion? The essays in this volume tackle these questions from both empirical and conceptual perspectives. Some contributors focus on the general question of how to locate self-deception and delusion within our taxonomy of psychological states. Some contributors ask whether particular delusions - such as the Capgras delusion or anosognosia for hemiplegia - might be explained by appeal to motivational and affective factors. And some contributors provide general models of motivated reasoning, against which theories of pathological belief-formation might be measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be of interest to cognitive scientists, clinicians, and philosophers interested in the nature of belief and the disturbances to which it is subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Psychology Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931862061207,"sku":"9781841694702","price":14808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841694702.webp?v=1771616708","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/delusion-and-self-deception-affective-and-motivational-influences-on-belief-formation-9781841694702","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
