How does a lawyer think? Does legal intuition exist? Do lawyers
need imagination? Why is legal language so abstract? It is no
longer possible to answer these questions by applying philosophical
analysis alone. Recent advances in the cognitive sciences have
reshaped our conceptions of the human mental faculties and the
tools we use to solve problems. A new picture of the functioning of
the legal mind is emerging. In The Legal Mind, Bartosz Brozek uses
philosophical arguments and insight from the cognitive sciences to
depict legal thinking as a close cooperation between three
cognitive mechanisms - intuition, imagination, and language - and
addresses the question of how to efficiently use these mental
tools. This novel and provocative approach provides a fresh
perspective on legal thinking and gives rise to important questions
pertaining to the limits of legal interpretation and rationality in
the law.
