Advances in Experimental Philosophy Advances in Religion, Cognitive Science, and Experimental Philosophy, (Paperback)

<p>Experimental philosophy has blossomed into a variety of philosophical fields including ethics, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of language. But there has been very little experimental philosophical research in the domain of philosophy of religion. <i>Advances in Religion, Cognitive Science, and Experimental Philosophy </i>demonstrates how cognitive science of religion has the methodological and conceptual resources to become a form of experimental philosophy of religion. </p><p>Addressing a wide variety of empirical claims that are of interest to philosophers and psychologists of religion, a team of psychologists and philosophers apply data from the psychology of religion to important problems in the philosophy of religion including the psychology of religious diversity; the psychology of substance dualism; the problem of evil and the relation between religious belief and empathy; and the cognitive science explaining the formation of intuitions that unwittingly guide philosophers of religion when formulating arguments. </p><p>Bringing together authors and researchers who have made important contributions to interdisciplinary research on religion in the last decade, <i>Advances in Religion, Cognitive Science, and Experimental Philosophy</i> provides new ways of approaching core philosophical and psychological problems.</p>
