'The past decades have brought us a host of fascinating developments in cognitive science that challenge many things we thought we knew about human beings and their behaviour. In this volume these developments are taken to court - what are the consequences of these developments for the different domains within law? The editors of this volume aim at nothing less than a meaningful exchange between these two disciplines. The 24 chapters of this volume take cognitive science seriously as a point of reference in discussing a plethora of issues in law, including issues that concern its foundations and that address deep philosophical concerns about human nature. This is done by a terrific line up of renowned philosophers, cognitive scientists and legal scholars, some of whom respond to one another. A must read when you believe the law is a core institution in our lives, one that needs to take into consideration what science and philosophy have taught us about human beings.' Maureen Sie, Professor Philosophy of Moral Agency, director Research Institute TiLPS, University of Tilburg
