For any reader who is interested in the intersection of neuroscience and the law, as well as for many who are not as yet, this collection will provide thought-provoking and enlightening reading ... It is a rare treat to read an edited collection as good as this.
Jefrey M. Skopek, Hughes Hall (Cambridge Law Journal)
The intersection between law and neuroscience has been a focus of intense research for the past decade, as an unprecedented amount of attention has been triggered by the increased use of neuroscientific evidence in courts. While the majority of this attention is currently devoted to criminal law, including capital cases, the wide-ranging proposals for how neuroscience may inform issues of law and public policy extend to virtually every substantive area in law.
Bringing together the latest work from leading scholars in the field, this volume examines the philosophical issues that inform this emerging and vibrant subfield of law. From discussions featuring the philosophy of the mind to neuroscience-based lie detection, each chapter addresses foundational questions that arise in the application of neuroscientific technology in the legal sphere.
