Philosophy Talk. Neuroscience and the Law
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Recent advances in neuroscience have revealed that certain neurological disorders, likea brain tumor, can cause an otherwise normal person to behave in criminally deviantways. Would knowing that an underlying neurological condition had caused criminalbehavior change the way we assign moral responsibility and mete out justice? Should it? Is committing a crime with a "normal" biology fundamentally different from doing sowith an identifiable brain disorder? John and Ken ask how the law should respond to thefindings of neuroscience with David Eagleman, author of Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain.
