PHI 440N THE DIVIDED SELF

An exploration of questions about apparent divisions within the self (e.g., weak will, bad faith, double-consciousness). Should we accept the philosophical ideal of a unified self? Do we always do what we want to do most? Is self-deception possible? Is acting contrary to our best judgments ever rational or good?
