We began holding regular meetings of the “Issues in Experimental Philosophy” seminar at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw, in the academic year 2017/2018.
Successive editions address different topics in experimental philosophy. The programmes combine reading and discussion of research with the development of participants’ own empirical projects.
Experimental research on context, perspective and utterance content: contextualism, relativism, knowledge ascriptions, subjective judgments and disagreement.
Ordinary judgments of personal and object identity over time, sameness, continuity, and moral, functional and material change.
The seminar examines issues in folk theories of causation studied within experimental philosophy.
The seminar examines issues studied in experimental philosophy of mind.
The seminar examines issues studied in experimental philosophy of language.
The seminar examines recent theoretical and empirical research into psychological explanations of the sources of philosophical intuitions.
The seminar examines folk theories of action as a subject of experimental philosophy.
The social sciences face a replication crisis: attempts to repeat published studies previously regarded as reliable often fail to reproduce their results. The seminar examines how far this problem affects experimental philosophy, which draws its methods from the social sciences.
The seminar examines cross-cultural and inter-group differences in ordinary intuitions studied in experimental philosophy.
The seminar examines folk epistemology within experimental philosophy: systematic empirical research into ordinary intuitions about philosophically significant issues such as knowledge and the justification of belief. Convenors: Katarzyna Kuś, Adrian Ziółkowski
