Experimental Philosophy: Volume 2 contains fourteen articles -
thirteen previously published and one new - that reflect the
fast-moving changes in the field over the last five years. The
field of experimental philosophy is one of the most innovative and
exciting parts of the current philosophical landscape; it has also
engendered controversy. Proponents argue that philosophers should
employ empirical research, including the methods of experimental
psychology, to buttress their philosophical claims. Rather than
armchair theorizing, experimental philosophers should go into the
field to research how people actually think and reason. In a sense
this is a return to a view of philosophy as the progenitor of
psychology: inherently concerned with the human condition, with no
limits to its scope or methods. In the course of the last decade,
many experimental philosophers have overturned assumptions about
how people think in the real world. This volume provides an
essential guide to the most influential recent work on this vital
and exciting area of philosophical research.
