This web page is based primarily on ideas contained in John Rawls' influential book A Theory of Justice (Harvard University Press, 1971), which has been discussed by many philosophers and nonphilosophers alike. Its ideas are often quoted and paraphrased in textbooks for Introduction to Philosophy, Ethics, and Business Ethics courses. But Rawls has gone beyond his views of 1971, and philosophy courses are beginning to take his important later thinking into account. The later ideas of Rawls to some extent build on the earlier work summarized below.

The X's marked areas where Kiehl had discovered abnormally low grey matter density in Dugan's brain. In a curious meeting of law and neuroscience, those X's would help jurors decide whether he should be executed or sentenced to life in prison. Did the way Dugan's brain had developed leave him spring-loaded for violence? Or had he chosen freely when he abducted, raped and killed a 10-year-old girl in 1983?

"n recent years, there has been lots of speculation on the potential intersection of neuroscience and the legal system. Will brain imaging became a fool-proof lie detector? Are some violent offenders suffering from a defective emotional brain that's beyond their control? Should we replace the insanity defense with a less rationalist account of human morality? etc, etc. The assumption is that the latest tools of science can help us refine our squishy concepts of justice, which we've inherited from Plato, the Old Testament and the 18th century British legal system. Needless to say, Plato didn't have fMRI." (Jonah Lehrer, The Frontal Cortex)
