RIVOLUZIONE COGNITIVISTA E TEORIA DEL DIRITTO

2017, Diritto&Questioni pubbliche

What we present here are the outlines of a research program. In sections 1 and 2, we give a rough picture of the “cognitive revolution”, the context in which our program situates. In section 3, we briefly review some well-established lines of inquiry germane to ours (behavioural law and economics; criminal responsibility and imputability; heuristics and biases in adjudication). Section 4 is devoted to the core of our research program: what are the psychological processes involved in the understanding, issuing and complying with norms, and in rule-based decision-making? Subsequently, in the last two sections, we give a glimpse on what we have done already (not much), and on what we plan to do in the next future.
