Experimental Philosophy

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.
