Statement from Peter Alces and Robert Sapolsky
HERE is a joint statement from Peter Alces and Robert Sapolsky, discussing the relationship between law, morality, and neuroscience. The authors advocate for a more rational and empirical approach to legal decisions, supported by insights from neuroscience, in order to address contemporary societal challenges more effectively. The statement serves as a précis for the publications Trialectic: The Confluence of Law, Neuroscience, and Morality and Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will by Alces and Sapolsky respectively.
