Susanna Blumenthal's Law and the Modern Mind is a probing and insightful study of the efforts of American judges, jurists, and medical specialists to develop guidelines for determining the proper scope of civil liability when litigants pleaded 'insanity.'... Law and the Modern Mind is not merely a study of legal doctrines and judicial decisions but a study of the law of 'consciousness' and 'responsibility' as it was embedded in American life and reshaped over time by changing cultural assumptions, social practices, and economic conditions...Blumenthal's book probes into the deepest recesses of American law, culture, political philosophy, and national psychology...These general comments hardly capture the depth and sophistication of Blumenthal's work, and merely suggest some of the subjects she covers and some of the rich, insightful, and provocative arguments she develops. Those interested in almost any aspect of legal history will find it well worth reading., This book is an unrivaled synthesis of the legal history of moral responsibility and mental capacity. No one has managed to connect so effectively the particulars of legal judgment of mental capacity'e"rendered by Blumenthal in a subtle and nuanced manner'e"with broader religious and cultural changes. She writes beautifully, and even more impressively, she discusses complex and sometimes abstruse doctrines with clarity and precision., Susanna Blumenthal is distinctive among legal historians of her generation. She brings to her work wide and thoughtful reading in various technical fields--the history of philosophy, the history of psychology, and American and English legal history--and has an immense gift for synthesis and summation. The book is an extraordinary achievement that helps to define the meaning of private law in the nineteenth-century judicial imagination., Susanna Blumenthal'e(tm)s Law and the Modern Mind is an extensive and exquisitely detailed journey through a long overlooked corner of nineteenth-century jurisprudence in America. It is based on years of reading across an impressive array of ornate and largely arcane texts. The author'e(tm)s capacity to render it into coherent analysis is even more impressive., Law and the Modern Mind reveals the instabilities that still haunt a legal structure that depends on individual responsibility but is unable to say what that responsibility actually is., Susanna Blumenthal's Law and the Modern Mind is an extensive and exquisitely detailed journey through a long overlooked corner of nineteenth-century jurisprudence in America. It is based on years of reading across an impressive array of ornate and largely arcane texts. The author's capacity to render it into coherent analysis is even more impressive., Susanna L. Blumenthal's book is a thoughtful study of American law's confrontation with insanity during the 19th century... Law and the Modern Mind traces variations of the insanity theme as it plays out in each legal field. Though the book is by no means a technical lawyers' manual, Blumenthal is a sure-footed guide through this doctrinal thicket; just as importantly, she narrates gripping human stories from the era's legal treatises, as well as those that unravel with greater vividness in court proceedings., Blumenthal has provided us with a challenging meditation on the problem of free will in nineteenth century America., This book is an unrivaled synthesis of the legal history of moral responsibility and mental capacity. No one has managed to connect so effectively the particulars of legal judgment of mental capacity-rendered by Blumenthal in a subtle and nuanced manner-with broader religious and cultural changes.

Synopsis
In postrevolutionary America, the autonomous individual was both the linchpin of a young nation and a threat to the founders' vision of ordered liberty. Conceiving of self-government as a psychological as well as a political project, jurists built a republic of laws upon the Enlightenment science of the mind with the aim of producing a responsible citizenry. Susanna Blumenthal probes the assumptions and consequences of this undertaking, revealing how ideas about consciousness, agency, and accountability have shaped American jurisprudence. Focusing on everyday adjudication, Blumenthal shows that mental soundness was routinely disputed in civil as well as criminal cases. Litigants presented conflicting religious, philosophical, and medical understandings of the self, intensifying fears of a populace maddened by too much liberty. Judges struggled to reconcile common sense notions of rationality with novel scientific concepts that suggested deviant behavior might result from disease rather than conscious choice. Determining the threshold of competence was especially vexing in litigation among family members that raised profound questions about the interconnections between love and consent. This body of law coalesced into a jurisprudence of insanity, which also illuminates the position of those to whom the insane were compared, particularly children, married women, and slaves. Over time, the liberties of the eccentric expanded as jurists came to recognize the diversity of beliefs held by otherwise reasonable persons. In calling attention to the problematic relationship between consciousness and liability, Law and the Modern Mind casts new light on the meanings of freedom in the formative era of American law., Headline-grabbing murders are not the only cases in which sanity has been disputed in the American courtroom. Susanna Blumenthal traces this litigation, revealing how ideas of human consciousness, agency, and responsibility have shaped American jurisprudence as judges struggled to reconcile Enlightenment rationality with new sciences of the mind.
