Interests

  • General

    Holding philosophy's feet to the empirical fire:

  • Music

    Alina Simone--the official x-phi rocker.

  • Television

    Television is typically watched from the armchair, so experimental philosophers are skeptical of television!

  • Books

    Experimental Philosophy

    And anything else by John Doris, Joshua Knobe, Shaun Nichols, Jesse Prinz, Stephen Stich or other experimental philosophers.

  • Heroes

    David Hume.

About me:

Experimental philosophy is a new philosophical movement that aims to return philosophy to questions about the way human beings actually think and feel. Instead of simply pondering abstract questions from the armchair, experimental philosophers go out and run systematic experiments on the intuitions of ordinary people. So far, research in experimental philosophy has helped to address questions involving free will, consciousness, morality, and many other central philosophical issues.

If you want to learn more about experimental philosophy, you can read the New York Times article , the Slate article or the Chronicle of Higher Education article.

Who I'd like to meet:

Empirically minded philosophers, philosophically minded psychologists, and the intellectually curious!

    If you're interested in experimental philosophy and you are considering graduate school, this should be a really helpful resource to use when applying. It's a post about the best graduate programs to consider if you hope to work with philosophers who actually do experimental philosophy. Feel free to add comments!

    I like to tell myself I was there for not only the birth, but also the formative adolescent years... :p

    Hi ! Thanks for the add.

    "Out of the Armchair and into the Streets" -
    Most unfortunately, in my philosophy classes I never met anyone to carry this ambition. Never would have dreamt of stumbling across this promising idea on myspace.

    Thank you for this site :O)
