How Is Self-Deception Possible

The phenomenon of self-deception has been discussed around the "paradox of intention" and "paradox of belief",which make it difficult for us to understand the phenomenon of self-deception.This paper attempts to demonstrate that,the phenomenon of self-deception not only exists and cannot be rejected,but also can be understood without violating the logic paradox.Moreover,the two mainstream ways to deal with the intention-paradox,namely intentionalism and non-intentionalism,are also compatible in principle:the fundamental divergence between them is the understanding of self-deception.And within the clarification of the concept,we can finally discuss the responsibility in the action of self-deception.
