Experimental philosophy is one of the most recent and controversial
developments in philosophy. Its basic idea is rather simple: to
test philosophical thought experiments and philosophers' intuitions
about them with scientific methods, mostly taken from psychology
and the social sciences. The ensuing experimental results, such as
the cultural relativity of certain philosophical intuitions, has
engaged - and at times infuriated - many more traditionally minded
"armchair" philosophers since then. In this volume, the
metaphilosophical reflection on experimental philosophy is brought
yet another step forward by engaging some of its most renowned
proponents and critics in a lively and controversial debate. In
addition to that, the volume also contains original experimental
research on personal identity and philosophical temperament, as
well as state-of-the-art essays on central metaphilosophical
issues, like thought experiments, the nature of intuitions, or the
status of philosophical expertise. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Philosophical Psychology.
