The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the following: that it is not possible to sufficiently understand, at least in one aspect, the method of execution (Methode der Ausführung) of the Phenomenology of Spirit as “the exposition of the knowledge as it appears” (die Darstellung des erscheinenden Wissens), if one does not understand the relationship that this method of execution has with the thematic of self-deception. This aim is carried out in the following way: 1) I suggest the type of relationship that is sought to be established between the concept of "self-deception" and the method of execution, 2) I present the notes that correspond to both, and 3) I argue in order to demonstrate that the method of execution cannot be correctly understood except in relation to the thematic of self-deception.
