Philosophy, neuroscience and law

the conceptual and empirical, rule-following, interpretation and knowledge

Dennis Patterson, Michael S. Pardo

pp. 177-188

The intersection between law and neuroscience is one of the most-discussed subfields in legal scholarship. In this article, we consider fundamental issues in the field. These include: the distinction between the conceptual and the empirical, rule-following, and the nature of knowledge. We maintain that the conceptual issues are fundamental to all aspects of this enterprise.
