Advances in experimental philosophy

Summary

This collection is essential reading for anyone working in experimental philosophy today, bringing together established and emerging research leaders from several areas of experimental philosophy to explore how new empirical methods can contribute to philosophical debates. Each chapter presents one or several methods new to experimental philosophy, demonstrating their application in a key area of philosophy and discussing their strengths and limitations. Methods covered include eye tracking, virtual reality technology, neuroimaging, statistical learning, and experimental economics as well as corpus linguistics, visualization techniques and data and text mining. Contributors explore their use in moral philosophy and moral psychology, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and the history of ideas and offer an accessible overview of exciting innovations. --, Provided by publisher
