Social context of the brain and law: Is consciousness social?

This article discusses how we become conscious and aware and what is the role of the brain when people are not conscious of their actions. Consciousness in the wider philosophical framework dealt with an asocial and individual framework. The understanding of consciousness also requires one's critical understanding of social context and group processes. The current race to objectify the brain is new phrenology unless viewed critically through the decolonizing lens. Law has a greater role to demystify itself from neuroscience and keep a balance considering the precedents. This article also ventures into how consciousness is constructed in a social arena and the way neuroscience can be a helpful domain in making the law reformative.
