The Constitution’s Beating Heart

Cambridge University Press eBooks, pp. 283–295

Abstract

Constitutions are not mere sets of written words and letters: they, most of the time, touch upon deeper layers of human nature - our emotions. Constitutions are imagined worlds we use as an element to craft social reality. Cognitive sciences help us understand how we use emotional rationality to do this.
