Cognition of the Law

Viac o knihe

The book explores the intersection of law and human behavior through a cognitive-sociological lens, proposing that legal behavior is influenced by biosocial constraints that encompass both genetic and cultural factors. It introduces the concept of law as a "super-meme," which emerges in complex societies, and distinguishes between defensive and assertive biases. This framework aims to reconcile the apparent contradiction of law being both a static historical entity and a dynamic force for social promotion.
