Criminal Insanity – Medical, Philosophical and Legal Perspectives

While psychotic delusions are commonly related to insanity it is sometimes difficult to demarcate between delusions and ideological beliefs - seen for instance in the 22 July case. The presenters will examine the meaning of delusion from a legal, philosophical and medical perspective, and the possibility of a joint approach will be discussed. The audience will be invited to contribute.

This event presents the RCN funded project DIMENSIONS, based at UiB - Faculty of Law. Joint Keynote lecture by Linda Gröning (Professor of Law, UiB), Unn K. Haukvik (Associate Professor, Institute of Clinical Medicine, UiO) and Susanna Radovic (Senior Lecturer, Department of Philosophy, University of Gothenburg).
