This is a comprehensive collection of essays that explores cutting-edge work in experimental philosophy, a radical new movement that applies quantitative and empirical methods to traditional topics of philosophical inquiry.

Situates the discipline within Western philosophy and then surveys the work of experimental philosophers by sub-discipline Contains insights for a diverse range of fields, including linguistics, cognitive science, anthropology, economics, and psychology, as well as almost every area of professional philosophy today Edited by two rising scholars who take a broad and inclusive approach to the field Offers a complete introduction for non-specialists and students to the central approaches, findings, challenges, and controversies in experimental philosophy

Experimental Philosophy and Corpus analysis explores foundational philosophical concepts through the use of digitised collections of machine-readable written or oral formatted texts. By analysing “real world” linguistic data they are able to engage with how language is used in ordinary settings. The collection makes use of corpora—curated collections of written or oral texts that represent an area of language use – to inform a wide array of philosophical debates. Covering the base form of the words, part-of-speech tagging, robust parsing, term and name identification, morphological analysis, anaphora resolution, syntactic structure, and references to Philosophical concepts in daily language.This collection brings together philosophy with corpus linguistics not only to serve as exemplifications of different approaches to corpus analysis, but also to defend the use of corpus linguistics in philosophy. It moves away from data generated via vignettes and questions devised by an experimenter who might attempt to shape responses in a particular way and with a particular bias. Making the case for digital analysis and naturalised language in Philosophy makes it an important and exciting addition to Bloomsbury’s Advances in Experimental Philosophy series.

The past decade has witnessed an exciting (and controversial) new approach to philosophy: Experimental philosophers aim to supplement, and perhaps to supplant, traditional philosophical approaches by employing empirical methods from the social sciences. In Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Mind, leading experimental philosophers apply these methods to questions about the nature of the mind, the self, consciousness, moral judgment, and concepts.By bringing empirical methods to bear on key issues, Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Mind pushes the debates forward, casting new insight on perennial problems. This is an essential resource for professors, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in either philosophy of mind or the burgeoning field of experimental philosophy.

This graduate textbook provides a basic introduction to experimental philosophy (x-phi). In nine chapters, different methods and tools used in X-Phi are explained, spanning quantitative vignette studies, interactive experiments, corpus analysis, psycholinguistic experiments as well as qualitative interview studies. Each chapter introduces a specific experimental method by means of a case study in an easily accessible way and covers the whole research process from the development of a research question to the interpretation of the data.
