Opis: Law and the Modern Mind - Susanna Blumenthal

Headline-grabbing murders are not the only cases in which sanity has been disputed in the American courtroom. Susanna Blumenthal traces this litigation, revealing how ideas of human consciousness, agency, and responsibility have shaped American jurisprudence as judges struggled to reconcile Enlightenment rationality with new sciences of the mind. Susanna Blumenthal s "Law and the Modern Mind" is an extensive and exquisitely detailed journey through a long overlooked corner of nineteenth-century jurisprudence in America. It is based on years of reading across an impressive array of ornate and largely arcane texts. The author s capacity to render it into coherent analysis is even more impressive.--Sarah Barringer Gordon, University of Pennsylvania Law School"
