| Our Mission Statement |
|
| The purpose of this society is to support, encourage,
and publicize work in the area of academic philosophy
known as "experimental philosophy." Experimental
philosophy involves the collection of empirical data to
shed light on philosophical issues. Therefore, it is expected
that the membership of the society will include faculty,
students, and interested amateurs not only in philosophy
but also in psychology, anthropology, sociology, law,
and other related fields. One of the primary goals of
XPS is to provide undergraduates and graduate students
with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with
junior and senior experimental philosophers. In order
to facilitate this, we plan to hold group meetings at
the APA at least once per year (but hopefully more). Once
our membership has grown, we plan to use a portion of
the dues to provide modest travel stipends to students
who will be presenting or providing commentary at our
meetings. After all, they represent the future! In addition
to helping young researchers break into the field, we
also hope to organize some free standing conferences and
workshops that will provide the experimental philosophy
community with additional opportunities to share their
work with researchers from other fields and disciplines.
