Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Irresponsables Devant la Justice
Des protestations généreuses se font - elles encore entendre, c'est le fait de quelques esprits attardés. Ou les dédaigne et l'on passe.
Nous verrons plus loin si la science est, comme on le prétend, d'accord avec ces utopies.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the principle of moral responsibility, and its application within the justice system. The author, a renowned authority in both law and medicine, explores the concept of responsibility through the lens of science, scrutinizing the exceptions that have been made to the rule and the growing number of individuals who are claiming irresponsibility for their actions. Delving into the complexities of mental illness, the book probes the boundaries of insanity, delving into cases of monomania, partial insanity, and transitory madness, and questioning whether these states should exempt individuals from accountability. It further analyzes the influence of epilepsy, alcoholism, and other physiological conditions on responsibility, examining whether these factors diminish an individual's capacity for rational thought and action. The author critically evaluates the theories that posit a complete denial of free will and moral responsibility, arguing that such notions undermine the very foundations of justice. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of individualized assessments, rejecting the categorization of individuals into groups of irresponsibility. Thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this book sheds new light on the intricate relationship between mental health, responsibility, and the law. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex ethical and legal issues surrounding the concept of responsibility within the justice system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780484988322_0
