Until recently, experimental philosophy has been associated with the questionnaire-based study of intuitions. This volume brings together established and emerging research leaders from several areas of experimental philosophy to explore how new empirical methods from the behavioural sciences and digital humanities can contribute to philosophical debates.

Each chapter offers an accessible overview of these exciting innovations, demonstrating their application in a key area of philosophy and discussing their strengths and limitations. Methods covered include eye tracking, virtual reality technology, neuroimaging, statistical learning and experimental economics as well as corpus linguistics, visualisation techniques and data and text mining. The volume explores their use in moral philosophy and moral psychology, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and the history of ideas.

Methodological Advances in Experimental Philosophy is essential reading for undergraduates, graduate students and researchers working in experimental philosophy.

Eugen Fischer is Reader in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of Linguistic Creativity, Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy, over forty papers, and three co-edited volumes including Experimental Philosophy, Rationalism and Naturalism: Rethinking Philosophical Method. Mark Curtis is Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies at the University of East Anglia, UK.
