The Experimental Philosophy Group Germany and the group of the Einstein Visiting Fellow Jesse Prinz (Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) held a 1.5-day workshop on Experimental Philosophy, which took place on Friday, 18 November 2016 and Saturday, 19 November 2016 at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
Research in Experimental Philosophy has developed massively during the last 10-15 years. New experimental tools are now available, and new methods are applied to investigate philosophical problems. This workshop aimed to acquaint philosophers at all levels interested in experimental philosophy with the state-of-the-art in experimental philosophy. For this purpose, two leading experts in these fields – Jesse Prinz and Justin Sytsma - headed this workshop on methods and new directions in experimental philosophy.
The workshop was followed by a Conference on Experimental Moral Psychology and Philosophy on Sunday, 20 November 2016
