Abstract

ABSTRACT:This paper explores common ideas shared by doctors and jurists in the Roman Empire concerning conditions with mental compromise. Recent scholarship has been reluctant to see an ongoing debate between experts in these two disciplines. Conversely, I will argue that it is possible to unveil a fluent exchange of ideas and concepts between legal commentators and medical writers around issues of mental incapacity, if we frame those cases as impaired consciousness (and not mental illness). To prove this point I will draw on some examples from the Digest, which will be placed in dialogue with contemporary medical texts.

罗马法中的意识缺陷、疯狂与精神丧失

摘要:本文探讨了罗马帝国医学家和法学家对精神妥协条件的共同看法。最近的学术界一直不愿意看到这两个学科的专家之间正在进行的辩论。相反，我认为，如果我们将这些案例定义为意识受损(而不是精神疾病)，就有可能在法律评论员和医学作家之间围绕精神残疾问题展开流畅的思想和概念交流。为了证明这一点，我将引用《文摘》中的一些例子，这些例子将与当代医学文本进行对话。
