Abstract

The insanity defence is considered in terms of the operation of incommensurable scientific and legal discourses, a dualism which in turn is held to reflect individualist values. This analysis is used to explain both the recurring nature of medico-legal controversy and the historical results of the defence in Victorian England.

摘要

精神错乱抗辩是从不可通约的科学话语和法律话语的运作角度来考虑的，这种二元论反过来又被认为反映了个人主义价值观。这一分析被用来解释医学法律争议反复出现的性质以及维多利亚时代英格兰该抗辩的历史结果。
