Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Pragmatism and Neuroscience

The book delves into the intersection of philosophy, law, neuroscience, and biology, drawing insights from American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and pragmatist John Dewey. It argues that human problem-solving and legal frameworks are rooted in a naturalistic and anthropological understanding of humanity. By highlighting the complexities and fallibility of legal reasoning, the author emphasizes the interconnectedness of legal and scientific thought, advocating for a broader context that reveals their continuous and porous relationship.
