Description

Political philosophy asks questions of great importance to our lives, both as individuals and members of political communities: What is justice? What does the state owe to its citizens? Under which conditions are different forms of government likely to be stable? The relevance of empirical research to such questions, however, has been largely underexplored. Introducing experimental political philosophy as a burgeoning field of inquiry, this volume brings together leading scholars using empirical methods to shed light on questions of justice and politics, and encourages them to reflect on the relationship of their methodologies to less empirically-focused approaches. Chapters cover traditional topics including distributive justice, egalitarianism, property rights, and healthcare justice, as well as outlining new directions and applications, such as the problem of misogynistic extremist movements, the public justification of immigration enforcement, and the relationship between gender norms and support for care labor organizing. The result is a unique collection that paves the way for further debates in the field and meaningful reflection on what it means for political philosophy to be empirically informed.

Brings together cutting-edge research on the use of empirical scientific methods to illuminate traditional and contemporary issues in political philosophy.

Matthew Lindauer is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center, USA.

Reviews
An original exploration of how the field of experimental philosophy can contribute to important questions in political philosophy. Drawing together a diverse group of scholars the volume demonstrates how political philosophy can be empirically informed. * Gillian Brock, Professor of Philosophy, University of Auckland, New Zealand *
It is puzzling that while there is a rich literature on the relevance of experimental philosophy to topics in moral philosophy, experimental treatment of questions in political philosophy have been few and far between. This important new collection helps to fill this gap and illustrates how the empirical methods of experimental philosophy can help to shed new light on core questions of political philosophy. * Christian Barry, Director, Research School of the Social Sciences, Australian National University, Australia *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
