David Hodgson Talk

Just in case there are any Gardeners in Sydney, here's the announcement for a talk that will be given by David Hodgson:

Topic            

Justice David Hodgson’s Paper “Guilty Mind or Guilty Brain; Criminal
Responsibility in the Age of Neuroscience”

As well as being a Judge of Appeal in the Supreme Court of New South Wales,
Justice David Hodgson has published books in the areas of philosophy of mind
and ethics and has written numerous philosophical articles many of which
focus on the issue of free will. The target paper for this discussion is of
particular interest as it draws together discussions from philosophy of mind
and the criminal law. It may also be of interest to a wider audience as the
paper considers the implications of developments in neurosphysiology,
cognitive science, artificial intelligence, psychology and psychiatry for
the criminal law.

The paper is available online here.
