Current Controversies in Experimental Philosophy (Current Controversies in Philosophy)

Experimental philosophy is one of the most active and exciting areas in philosophy today. In Current Controversies in Experimental Philosophy, Elizabeth Oâ€™Neill and Edouard Machery have brought together twelve leading philosophers to debate four topics central to recent research in experimental philosophy. The result is an important and enticing contribution to contemporary philosophy which thoroughly reframes traditional philosophical questions in light of experimental philosophersâ€™ use of empirical research methods, and brings to light the lively debates within experimental philosophersâ€™ intellectual community. Two papers are dedicated to the following four topics:

Language (Edouard Machery & Genoveva MartÃ)
Consciousness (Brian Fiala, Adam Arico, and Shaun Nichols & Justin Sytsma)
Free Will and Responsibility (Joshua Knobe & Eddy Nahmias and Morgan Thompson)
Epistemology and the Reliability of Intuitions (Kenneth Boyd and Jennifer Nagel & Joshua Alexander and Jonathan Weinberg).

Preliminary descriptions of each chapter, annotated bibliographies for each controversy, and a supplemental guide to further controversies in experimental philosophy (with bibliographies) help provide clearer and richer views of these live controversies for all readers.
