Session 2
Greene & Cohen:
- Two positions that are true:
o Existing legal principles make virtually no assumption about the neural
bases of criminal behavior and as a result they can comfortably
assimilate new neuroscience without much in the ways of conceptual
upheaval
o Neuroscience will challenge and ultimately reshape our intuitive sense
of justice (human action, responsibility)
- New science can help us figure out who was (not) rational at the scene of the
crime
