Abstract
The paper outlines a theoretical framework to implement pain analysis through predictive tools inspired by the neuroscientific work of Apkarian, Damasio, Panksepp. It then identifies a paradigm of ‘affective turn’ able to dialogue with legal and anthropological thinking, starting from Sequeri, and Vico’s New Science, in order to configure a notion of normative affective-fundamental neuroscience: with the aim of overcome the myths of behaviorism and cognitivism in psychology, and positivism and realism in philosophy of law.
