Experimental Philosophy, Rationalism, and Naturalism

Rethinking Philosophical Method

Ed.: Fischer, Eugen; Collins, John

Beschreibung

What larger philosophical questions does experimental philosophy raise? Do rationalism and naturalism share more than we think? In what way is philosophy a distinctive discipline in the human sciences? Distinguished contributors examine these questions and more, using examples and arguments from recent work in perception, the analytic-synthetic distinction, semantics and cognition.

Rezensionen

'Just when it seemed like the metaphilosophical controversies about experimental philosophy were about to die down, this timely and valuable volume reminds us that many of the crucial questions are still unresolved.' - Joachim Horvath, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

'A varied and balanced set of contributions on issues of central interest and importance. Sooner or later any philosopher is likely to face issues of philosophical method, and the essays gathered here would be very helpful in addressing them.' - Ernest Sosa, Rutgers University, USA

'Experimental philosophy has reinvigorated debates about the nature of intuitions and their role in philosophical

inquiry, in particular, and about the relation between philosophy and empirical science, more generally. This excellent collection is essential reading for professional philosophers and graduate students who are interested in these issues.' - Matthew Haug, The College of William & Mary, USA

'A timely and original collection. Anyone interested in how philosophy can and should be done will want to read this book.' - John Turri, University of Waterloo, Canada

'This terrific book includes work from leading philosophers who represent a variety of methodological and metaphilosophical perspectives. It brings into conversation philosophers interested in the longstanding methodological debate between rationalists and naturalists with philosophers interested in the methodological implications of recent work in experimental philosophy. A must read for anyone interested in understanding the methodological implications of recent work in experimental philosophy!' - Joshua Alexander, Siena College, USA
