Over the past one and a half decades, the scope of experimental
philosophy (x-phi) has expanded significantly. Experimental
research programmes now cover almost all areas of philosophy,
including epistemology, the philosophy of language, action theory,
and the free will debate, to name just a few. This volume
introduces the reader to these new developments in an accessible
and systematic way. It explains how x-phi differs from traditional
views of philosophy, investigates in depth how it uses empirical
evidence to support philosophical conclusions of various kinds, and
introduces the reader to both the most widely discussed
experimental studies and the latest advancements in the field. As a
critical study, it also examines the various criticisms that x-phi
has received over the years and seeks, tentatively, to adjudicate
them.

This book argues that critics of consequentialism have not been
able to make a successful and comprehensive case against all
versions of consequentialism because they have been using the wrong
methodology. This methodology relies on the crucial assumption that
consequentialist theories share a defining characteristic. This
text interprets consequentialism, instead, as a family resemblance
term. On that basis, it argues quite an ambitions claim, viz. that
all versions of consequentialism should be rejected, including
those that have been created in response to conventional
criticisms. The book covers a number of classic themes in normative
ethics, metaethics and, particularly, ethical methodology and also
touches upon certain aspects of experimental moral philosophy. It
is written in clear language and is analytic in its argumentative
style. As such, the book should appeal to students, graduate
students as well as professional academics with an interest in
analytic moral philosophy.
This book examines the theoretical foundations of order ethics and
discusses business ethics problems from an order ethics
perspective. Order ethics focuses on the social order and the
institutional environment in which individuals interact. It is a
well-established paradigm in European business ethics. The book
contains articles written by leading experts in the field and
provides both a concise introduction to order ethics and short
summary articles homing in on specific aspects of the order-ethical
paradigm. It presents contributions describing fundamental
concepts, historical roots, and the economic, social, and
philosophical background of the theory. The second part of the
handbook focuses on the theory's application in business, society,
and politics, casting new light on an array of topics that loom
large in contemporary ethical discourse.
