Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Science (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781350250062)

This volume gathers together leading philosophers of science and cognitive scientists from around the world to provide one of the first book-length studies of this important and emerging field. Specific topics considered include learning and the nature of scientific knowledge, the cognitive consequences of exposure to explanations, climate change, and mechanistic reasoning and abstraction. Chapters explore how experimental methods can be applied to questions about the nature of science and show how to fruitfully theorize about the nature and role of science with well-grounded empirical research.

Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Sciencepresents a new direction in the philosophical exploration of science and paves a path for those who might seek to pursue research in experimental philosophy of science.
