Metaphysics, almost entirely neglected by experimental philosophers,
is the central focus of Experimental Metaphysics. The volume brings
together a range of views aimed at addressing the question of how
cognitive science might be relevant to metaphysics. With contributions
from cognitive scientists and philosophers, chapters focus on
theoretical and empirical issues involving the potential role of
cognitive science in metaphysics. Alongside topics such as free will,
objects and causation, in which relevant empirical evidence is
discussed and connected to relevant metaphysical issues, more
programmatic papers explore theoretical issues centered on the
connection between cognitive science and metaphysics. This balanced
approach exposes metaphysicians to philosophically relevant work in
cognitive science, while showing cognitive scientists the ways in
which their work might be important for philosophers. Presenting
cutting-edge empirical and theoretical research, Experimental
Metaphysics pushes forward the discussion and encourages further
engagement with issues at the intersection of cognitive science and
metaphysics.
