Mechanical Choices is written by Michael S. Moore and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 019086401X (ISBN 10) and 9780190864019 (ISBN 13).

Mechanical Choices details the intimate connection that exists between morality and law: the morality we use to blame others for their misdeeds and the criminal law that punishes them for these misdeeds. This book shows how both law and morality presuppose the accuracy of common sense, a centuries-old psychology that defines people as rational agents who make honorable choices and act for just reasons. It then shows how neuroscience is commonly taken to challenge these fundamental psychological assumptions.
