Deception. Essays from the Outis Project on Deception

The title of the Project, “Outis,” is taken from Odysseus’ deceptive reply to Polyphemous while imprisoned in the Cyclops’ cave. When Polyphemous asks Odysseus his name, he replies, “Outis (Nobody).”The Outis Project was inspired by questions posed in Edmund Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations: How far can the transcendental ego be deceived about himself? And how far do those components extend that are absolutely indubitable, in spite of such possible deception?
