The Deceptive Brain,
Blame, Punishment, and the Illusion of Choice

Rating
Format
Paperback, 232 pages
Published
United Kingdom, 1 November 2021

Preposterous as it sounds, we are not who we seem to be. Not even close. At the heart of this misperception is our deep-seated conviction of free choice. Based on emerging neurobehavioral science findings, The Deceptive Brain makes the case for human experience as a narrative illusion-an executive summary of sorts-that emerges from an incredibly complex brain. The Deceptive Brain drills down on what this finding means for the way we blame and punish, and presents a bold alternative approach to criminal justice based on blameless responsibility.
