The Theory and Practice of Experimental Philosophy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In recent years, developments in experimental philosophy have led many thinkers to reconsider their central assumptions and methods.

It is not enough to speculate and introspect from the armchair–philosophers must subject their claims to scientific scrutiny, looking at evidence and in some cases conducting new empirical research.

The Theory and Practice of Experimental Philosophy is an introduction and guide to the systematic collection and analysis of empirical data in academic philosophy. This book serves two purposes: first, it examines the theory behind “x-phi,” including its underlying motivations and the objections that have been leveled against it.

Second, the book offers a practical guide for those interested in doing experimental philosophy, detailing how to design, implement, and analyze empirical studies.

Thus, the book explains the reasoning behind x-phi and provides tools to help readers become experimental philosophers.
