Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., pragmatism and neuroscience[electronic resource] /by Jay Schulkin. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xi, 355 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. Holmes' Critical Experience in War -- 3. Experience, Inference and Surviving -- 4. Holmes, Pragmatism and Nature -- 5. Duty, Surviving, Social Contract -- 6. Emersonian Sensibilities -- 7. Bounded Choice, Human Freedom and Problem Solving -- 8. Naturalizing Decision-Making -- 9. Ethics, Body Politic, and Neuroscience -- 10. Neuroscientific Considerations and the Law -- 11. Conclusion.

This book explores the cultures of philosophy and the law as they interact with neuroscience and biology, through the perspective of American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes' Jr., and the pragmatist tradition of John Dewey. Schulkin proposes that human problem solving and the law are tied to a naturalistic, realistic and an anthropological understanding of the human condition. The situated character of legal reasoning, given its complexity, like reasoning in neuroscience, can be notoriously fallible. Legal and scientific reasoning is to be understood within a broader context in order to emphasize both the continuity and the porous relationship between the two. Some facts of neuroscience fit easily into discussions of human experience and the law. However, it is important not to oversell neuroscience: a meeting of law and neuroscience is unlikely to prove persuasive in the courtroom any time soon. Nevertheless, as knowledge of neuroscience becomes more reliable and more easily accepted by both the larger legislative community and in the wider public, through which neuroscience filters into epistemic and judicial reliability, the two will ultimately find themselves in front of a judge. A pragmatist view of neuroscience will aid and underlie these events.
