5th European Experimental Philosophy Conference

The 5th European Experimental Philosophy Conference brings together philosophers, cognitive scientists, and empirical researchers to explore how systematic data collection and experimental methods can inform and transform philosophical inquiry. The conference examines core questions in epistemology, ethics, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics by testing whether widely held philosophical intuitions are universal, culturally variable, or systematically influenced by individual differences, challenging the assumption that armchair reflection alone can ground philosophical theorizing.

The conference draws experimental philosophers, cognitive scientists, psychologists, and philosophically oriented social scientists who share the conviction that empirical evidence should play a central role in philosophical methodology. Graduate students find it a welcoming venue for presenting interdisciplinary work that does not fit neatly into either philosophy or psychology, while senior researchers use it to debate foundational questions about the proper relationship between intuition data and philosophical theory.
