This is one reason that it's not helpful to criticize experimental philosophy as a whole--it's a coherent movement insofar as they all want to bring experimental methods into philosophy, but since they work in different subfields, their aims and collateral commitments are going to be very different.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12979095957410011528noreply@blogger.com
