Abstract:

Experimental philosophers known as x-philes are part of a new movement seeking to answer philosophical questions by asking actual people. Joshua Knobe, a pioneer in the field, uses experimental methods that are not traditionally used by philosophers. This approach makes it possible to learn more about human morality and intentions.
