May 4: Experimental Philosophy
Philosophical reasoning relies on intuitions. John Rawls called
this method "reflective equilibrium.” But where do we get our
data about "intuitions"? John and Ken welcome back Anthony Appiah from
Princeton University, author of Experiments in Ethics. They discuss psychological experiments that determine what people really think.
Have John and Ken solve all your
problems (or at least make them more complicated)!
