Description
This is a comprehensive collection of essays that explores cutting-edge work in experimental philosophy, a radical new movement that applies quantitative and empirical methods to traditional topics of philosophical inquiry.
* Situates the discipline within Western philosophy and then surveys the work of experimental philosophers by sub-discipline
* Contains insights for a diverse range of fields, including linguistics, cognitive science, anthropology, economics, and psychology, as well as almost every area of professional philosophy today
* Edited by two rising scholars who take a broad and inclusive approach to the field
* Offers a complete introduction for non-specialists and students to the central approaches, findings, challenges, and controversies in experimental philosophy
