Although much human action serves as proof that irrational behavior is remarkably common, certain forms of irrationalitymost notably, incontinent action and selfdeceptionpose such difficult theoretical problems that philosophers have rejected them as logically or psychologically impossible. Here, Mele shows that, and how, incontinent action and selfdeception are indeed possible. Drawing upon recent experimental work in the psychology of action and inference, he advances naturalized explanations of akratic action and selfdeception while resolving the paradoxes around which the philosophical literature revolves. In addition, he defends an account of selfcontrol, argues that strict akratic action is an insurmountable obstacle for traditional beliefdesire models of actionexplanation, and explains how a considerably modified model accommodates action of this sort.
