| Description | In the course of his visit to Trnava this fall, Professor Williamson (Oxford University) defended claim that experimental philosophy (X-phi) is unable to contribute to the solution of philosophical questions. I asked him whether the question "What is the nature of moral judgment?" is a philosophical one or not. Professor Williamson admitted that there exist these "borderline" questions at the edge of philosophy and individual special sciences where X-phi can prove itself helpful. Framing these questions as "borderline" may nonetheless seem like an exclusion of them from the centre of philosophical inquiry. In my talk I'd like to continue in my dispute with Professor Williamson and to show on the example of empirical and experimental study of morality that at least some of them are crucial for traditional philosophical inquiry. |
