Einstein Workshop, Nov 18-19, 2016
Workshop on Experimental Philosophy: Methods and New Directions
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) are happy to announce a 1.5-day workshop on Experimental Philosophy, which will take 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 aims 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 –
will head this workshop on methods and new directions in experimental philosophy. The workshop is targeted both at beginners to experimental philosophy as well as researchers
who have already carried out experiments but would like to deepen their knowledge on how to best conduct an experimental project.
The workshop's aim is to convey the tools necessary to carry out an experimental research project. Its focus will be on (i) how to best design an experiment, (ii) how to conduct a
study using internet platforms, and (iii) how to analyze data using statistics software. The workshop will include talks by Jesse Prinz and Justin Sytsma, and workshop
participants will have the chance to present their work in short talks and / or during a poster session. Both, presentations of recently undertaken work as well as ideas
for new experimental projects, are welcome.
The workshop will be followed by a Conference on Experimental Moral Psychology and Philosophy on Sunday, 20 November 2016
