Who we are
Experimental philosophy is a relatively recent, but rapidly expanding area of research. Experimental Philosophy Group UK provides a forum for UK-based researchers from all disciplines engaged in using experimental methods to investigate philosophical topics. Empirical evidence is relevant to many philosophical debates and experimental philosophers design and conduct experiments that address specific questions of philosophical significance.
The only
criteria for membership are involvement in UK-based research and an
interest in
experimental philosophy.
