Until recently, experimental philosophy has been associated with the questionnaire-based study of intuitions; new methods include paradigms for behavioural experiments from the social sciences as well as computational methods from the digital humanities that can process large bodies of text and evidence.Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy offers an accessible overview of these exciting innovations. The volume brings together established and emerging research leaders from several areas of experimental philosophy to explore how new empirical methods can contribute to philosophical debates. Each chapter presents one or several methods new to experimental philosophy, demonstrating their application in a key area of philosophy and discussing their strengths and limitations. Methods covered include eye tracking, virtual reality technology, neuroimaging, developmental psychology, experimental economics, and corpus linguistics, as well as 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 philosophy.Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy is essential reading for undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers working in experimental philosophy.
