The Cambridge Handbook of Human Rights for the Mind

This volume aims to deliver the most comprehensive collective work on human rights for the mind to date, interrogating several ethical and legal issues arising from new and emerging (neuro)techniques from a human rights perspective. Compiling work from leading international scholars in law, philosophy, ethics, medicine and neuroscience, the volume provides systematic and up-to-date discussions of current debates in this field, while also identifying and interrogating issues that remain uncharted. It thus fills unmet needs across multiple academic fields and policy-oriented fora. The book introduces general and cross-cutting concerns permeating the debate about whether current means of implementing human rights adequately protect our minds. It then analyses specific moral and legal rights pertaining to the mind and the inter-relationships between these rights, before highlighting actionability considerations and pragmatic perspectives on how best to implement rights protections for the mind.
