Experimental Philosophy in 3-D

null, Ben Coonley (Bard College), Jonathan Phillips (Yale University), Hagop Sarkissian (Baruch College, City University of New York)

Media artist Ben Coonley has directed a series of short videos illustrating three recent experimental philosophy studies. We will screen these videos as part of an interactive event where audience members will be able to talk directly to both the philosophers whose work the videos depict and Coonley himself.

The videos displayed at this event depict philosophical work by Joshua Knobe (Yale University), Jonathan Phillips (Yale University) and Hagop Sarkissian (Baruch College). All three of these philosophers will be taking questions from the audience throughout the event.

The event will include the first public showing of a 3-D video on moral relativism starring singer Amanda Palmer, an ‘interactive’ video about the nature of happiness in which audience members can fill in their own answers, and a very brief video starring comedian Eugene Mirman.
