Description

Experimental philosophy is a movement that supplements philosophical thinking with the methods of cognitive science, using systematic experiments to uncover how people ordinarily think about a range of issues in traditional philosophy. The aim is to better understand the status and scope of philosophical claims. Topics include moral responsibility, free will, fairness and justice, consciousness, and personal identity. (This course is crosslisted with PSY 3220. Students will receive credit for PHI 3220 or PSY 3220. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy.)
