TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Edinburgh\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>On 8th April 2014 we will be hosting a workshop which will be aimed at<br> researchers interested in Experimental Philosophy\, or &lsquo\;X-Phi&rsquo\; as it is<br> sometimes known . &nbsp\;Experimental philosophy (X-phi) is a new and exciting<br> field which brings together philosophy and experimental psychology in an<br> attempt to address philosophical questions with empirical data. &nbsp\;Our aim is<br> to hear views about current X-phi work\, and to find out more about how you<br> think the field could be developed.<br> <br> Specific foci of interest for the workshop:<br> <br> * Methodological issues - shortcomings of current methods used to gather<br> data in experimental philosophy\, and innovative approaches (such as<br> adaptations of the famous &lsquo\;trolley problem&rsquo\; to the real world) to such<br> studies<br> * The aims of X-Phi as they are currently construed<br> * The potential for use of virtual reality in X-Phi research. To this end\,<br> we will introduce the Oculus Rift headsets (which you can try out)\, which<br> we'll be using this summer to proto-type an experiment on folk attributions<br> of consciousness to others.<br> <br> Confirmed speakers are:<br> <br> David Carmel (Psychology\, University of Edinburgh)<br> Natalie Gold (Philosophy\, Kings College\, London)<br> Suilin Lavelle (Philosophy\, University of Edinburgh)<br> Paulo Sousa (Institute of Cognition and Culture\, Queen&rsquo\;s University\,<br> Belfast)<br> Joshua Shepherd (Philosophy\, University of Oxford)<br> <br> Participation is limited to 30 people and by registration only. &nbsp\;We plan to<br> have a morning and afternoon session\, with a demonstration of our immersive<br> reality headsets (Oculus Rift) at lunch for those who are feeling brave.<br> <br> To register for the workshop please follow this link:<br> <a target="_blank">http://www.ppls.ed.ac.uk/philosophy/events/view/experimental-philosophy</a><br> <br> We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.<br> <br> Local organisers:<br> David Carmel &ndash\; <a href="mailto:dave.carmel@ed.ac.uk">dave.carmel@ed.ac.uk</a>\, and<br> Suilin Lavelle &ndash\; <a href="mailto:j.s.lavelle@ed.ac.uk">j.s.lavelle@ed.ac.uk</a></p>
