Unsoundness of Mind in of Min and Legal (Classic Reprint) indir kitap bedava

When Beccarria observed, The happiest of all nations is that in which the laws have not become a science, we are almost disposed to suspect that he had been studying the question of unsoundness of mind in its relation to responsibility for criminal acts: certainly to no subject is the remark more applicable; for, between the diversity of medical doctrines, antagonism of legal opinions, uncertainty and difficulty which have been manifested in determining the majority of cases which the records of criminal jurisprudence supply, the student is led to the conclusion that on this particular subject the lessons of experience have been strangely lost sight of, and many doctrines perpetuated with inexplicable pertinacity, in direct opposition to ordinary rules which in every-day affairs of life regulate the conduct of men. Was the question of unsoundness of mind a purely legal problem, one could well understand the advantage to be derived from the retention of the opinions of those whose erudition and intelligence have dignified and shed a lustre on the bench. Was mental disease of necessity associated with appreciable structural change, it would be but natural to expect that, as a capability of ultimate analysis progressed, accuracy in the formation of opinions would have been proportionately attained. Could the mind be regarded as a series of simple, untangible creations, which, though immaterial and beyond reach, were still recognizable by the uniformity of certain operations in abstract reasoning on the manifestations inductive eclecticism, the question of mental soundness and responsibility would rest.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilize
