Law and the Modern Mind: Consciousness and Responsibility in American Legal Culture
Susanna L. Blumenthal

Susanna Blumenthal traces this litigation, revealing how ideas of human consciousness, agency, and responsibility have shaped American jurisprudence as judges struggled to reconcile Enlightenment rationality with new sciences of the mind.
