		<description><![CDATA[Some recent posts by&#160;Dan Kahan&#160;on the subject of &#8220;cultural cognition&#8221; deserve attention: (Cultural cognition refers to the tendency of individuals to conform their beliefs about disputed matters of fact (e.g., whether global warming is a serious threat; whether the death penalty deters murder; whether gun control makes society more safe or less) to values that define their cultural identities.) Nullius in verba? Surely you are joking, Mr. Hooke! (or Why cultural cognition is not a bias, part&#160;1) There&#8217;s no remotely plausible account of human rationality&#8212;of our ability to accumulate genuine knowledge about how the world works&#8212;that doesn&#8217;t treat as central individuals&#8217; amazing capacity to reliably identify and put themselves in intimate contact with others who can transmit to them what is known collectively as&#8230; <a href="http://www.anotherpanacea.com/2012/12/cultural-cognition-is-not-a-bias/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Introduction Our task was to explore the role of ethics in the law, and we began our semester worrying about standard ethical questions of responsibility and who to blame when things go wrong. The standard theories of punishment all revolve around these questions: whether we are utilitarians or contractarians, we are implicitly depending upon an account of what we owe to the criminal and to society. What&#8217;s more, the same assumptions underwrite our theories of what it is to deserve a grade&#8230; <a href="http://www.anotherpanacea.com/2012/12/reflections-on-my-crime-and-punishment-seminar/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
