{"product_id":"irrationality","title":"Irrationality","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough much human action serves as proof that irrational behavior is remarkably common, certain forms of irrationality--most notably, incontinent action and self-deception--pose such difficult theoretical problems that philosophers have rejected them as logically or psychologically impossible.  Here, Mele shows that, and how, incontinent action and self-deception are indeed possible. Drawing upon recent experimental work in the psychology of action and\n\u003cbr\u003einference, he advances naturalized explanations of akratic action and self-deception while resolving the paradoxes around which the philosophical literature revolves.  In addition, he defends an account of\n\u003cbr\u003eself-control, argues that \"strict\" akratic action is an insurmountable obstacle for traditional belief-desire models of action-explanation, and explains how a considerably modified model accommodates action of this sort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059355373806,"sku":"9780195080018","price":163.21,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/irrationality","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
