Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Until recently, experimental philosophy has been associated with the questionnaire-based study of intuitions. This volume brings together established and emerging research leaders from several areas of experimental philosophy to explore how new empirical methods from the behavioural sciences and digital humanities can contribute to philosophical debates.
Each chapter offers an accessible overview of these exciting innovations, 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, visualisation techniques and data and text mining. The volume explores their use in moral philosophy and moral psychology, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and the history of ideas.
Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophyis essential reading for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in experimental philosophy.

Empirical and experimental philosophy is generating tremendous excitement, producing unexpected results that are challenging traditional philosophical methods. Advances in Experimental Philosophy responds to this trend, bringing together some of the most exciting voices in the field to understand the approach and measure its impact in contemporary philosophy. The result is a series that captures past and present developments and anticipates future research directions.

To provide in-depth examinations, each volume links experimental philosophy to a key philosophical area. They provide historical overviews alongside case studies, reviews of current problems and discussions of new directions. For upperlevel undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals actively pursuing research in experimental philosophy, these are essential resources.

Eugen Fischer and Mark Curtis

Experimental philosophy is undergoing exciting transformations. Until recently, the discipline has prominently been associated with the questionnaire-based study of philosophically relevant intuitions (Alexander 2012; Fischer and Collins 2015; Mallon 2016). However, experimental philosophy conceived, quite broadly, as the practice of systematically collecting and analysing empirical data to address philosophical questions or problems (Sytsma and Livengood 2016; cf. Knobe and Nichols 2017) adapts a wide range of empirical methods for a variety of new uses in philosophy, in the study of intuitions and beyond (cf. Nado 2016). To some extent, the recruitment of methods beyond the questionnaire has been part of experimental philosophy since the inception of the movement (e.g. Greene et al. 2001). Currently, however, the uptake of further methods is gathering momentum: this might mark a step change in the larger enterprise of making philosophical questions and problems more empirically and scientifically tractable.

Experimental philosophys new methods include sophisticated paradigms for behavioural experiments from across the social sciences ranging from psycholinguistics to experimental economics as well as computational methods from the digital humanities that can process large bodies of text and data. This volume offers a conspectus of these cutting-edge empirical methods and explores how they can complement questionnaire-based approaches in a variety of philosophical pursuits, across several key areas. The studies reported or discussed herein demonstrate in some cases pioneer the use of their chosen methods in experimental philosophy. The areas of philosophy covered include epistemology and metaphysics, the philosophies of mind and language, the philosophies of science and mathematics, moral philosophy and psychology, as well as the history of ideas.

The questionnaire-based surveys and experiments that have so far been the standard tools of experimental philosophy are convenient, can demonstrably be used to address a very wide range of philosophically relevant questions (see Alexander 2012 and Knobe & Nichols 2017 for reviews) and have generally led to replicable findings (Cova et al. 2018). This volume will make the case for complementing these familiar and useful approaches not by belabouring their limitations and shortcomings (which the following chapters will broach, where relevant), but by positively demonstrating what the alternative methods allow us to do, and the philosophical uses to which their findings can profitably be put.

The first part of the volume focuses on experimental methods drawn from different social sciences. The second part examines computational methods from the digital humanities. In each part, the first chapters discuss how further empirical methods can be put to the service of (natural extensions of) philosophical projects that have been prominently associated with experimental philosophy and rely on or respond to intuition-driven methodologies. In line with a broad conception of experimental philosophy, subsequent chapters then explain how further methods can be recruited for philosophical projects that have not seen much reliance on intuitions. All the methods discussed can be profitably put to more philosophical uses than are presented here, including uses in other areas of philosophy. We therefore encourage readers to also consider chapters which address philosophical topics outside their own immediate areas of interest.
