Resumen


Neuroethics, law and neurosciences.

In this paper we concentrate on one aspect of neuroethics. We present some thoughts on the changes that the new knowledge and techniques provided by neuroscience could carry for the law and the system of justice. First, we discuss some possibilities involving the use of this new advances in the judicial procedures and resultants. Second, we discuss how neuroscience can participate in the debate between retributivism and consequentialism as divergent conceptions of punishment.

 

Key words: Neuroethics, neuroimaginery, consequentialism, retributivism, rationality, freedom, punishment, folk psychology, folk physics.
