The Moral Conflict of Law and Neuroscience

Peter A. Alces

4.9/5 (20966 ratings)

Description:New insights offered by neuroscience have provoked discussions of the nature of human agency and responsibility. These insights suggest that the idea that humans are uniquely capable of making their own choices and thus should be held responsible for their consequences might be little more than a fiction, according to Peter A. Alces. Law, which relies on a shared, intuitive “folk psychology” about the capacity of humans to make conscious choices in all but a few cases where age, sanity, and emotional distress are seen as limiting human agency, will need to take into consideration broader biological findings when assigning responsibility for specific acts. As we seek to better understand our brains, this research will inevitably inform, and change, the rules society lives by. Alces draws on neuroscience to explore the internal contradictions of legal doctrines, and consider what would be involved in constructing novel legal regimes based on emerging understandings of human capacities and characteristics not only in criminal law but in contract and tort law.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
