Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Pragmatism and Neuroscience

The exploration of legal reasoning through the lens of neuroscience and biology reveals the intricate connections between philosophy, law, and human problem-solving. Drawing on the insights of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and John Dewey's pragmatism, the author argues for a naturalistic and anthropological understanding of the human condition. The book highlights the complexity and fallibility inherent in both legal and scientific reasoning, advocating for a broader context that underscores their interrelatedness and continuity.
