Summary/Abstract: In this paper I defend non-intentional conception of self-deception. First, I’ll make clear distinction between deceiving, lying, and deluding. Then, taking Cartesian metodological project as an example, I'll make a distinction between self induced deception and selfdeception. To identify fenomenon of self-deception I rely on early experimental evidence and so called paradoxes of self-deception. I will explain in detali two main apraches to the problem of self-deception, one of which is intentional, and the other one is non-intentional. In this context I will try to explain why I believe that self-deception has to be non-intentional.
