Le neuroscienze nella tecnicizzazione del diritto : le opportunità e i rischi del Neurolaw

This article is a critical recognition of the increasing interested about the impact of neuroscience on human sciences, such as law. In the last two decades, the neuro+ disciplines became an interesting field of researches and reflections, rising enormous funds from public and pri-vate institutions. The article reflects on the possibility to create a cooperative and not conflictual relation between neuroscience and law, where the theoretical approach of the sociology of law could play a crucial role. In order to do so, we need to go beyond the traditional ques-tion of free will and responsibility and to consider neuroscience as part of a larger horizon to-gether with ICT technologies, artificial intelligence and genomics. However, this new neo-positive approach rises many concerns especially if applied to criminal law and correctional policies. [Publisher's text]
