• Resumen

  • The article discusses experimental philosophy, a branch of philosophy which uses the methodology of cognitive science and psychology to study questions related to morality and free will. The author examines research by philosophers including Shaun Nichols, Christine Weigel, and Edward T. Cokely on problem solving, moral relativism, and responsibility for actions, providing information on the experimental methods which were used and the scenarios which were presented to participants in experiments. The future of philosophy is also examined.
