- W2115536295 abstract "Anthony Appiah is a major figure on the philosophical scene, whose work in philosophy of language and (especially) political philosophy has been very influential. Given his status, his new book on experimental and empirical approaches to ethics was bound to attract a great deal of attention. Experiments in Ethics deserves and repays the sustained scrutiny to which it has been subjected. In this brief introduction, I will sketch the themes of Appiah’s important book, by way of opening the way for the detailed discussion which follows. Philosophy in the analytic tradition has been revitalized by what we might call the naturalistic turn. This turn toward the sciences has taken two different, though overlapping, forms. Some naturalists are essentially empiricists—attempting to apply the findings of existing science to philosophical problems—whereas, and more recently, some are experimental philosophers, using the methods of science as well as its body of findings to test philosophical claims. Both kinds of naturalists have challenged common sense certainties, including the certainties of some philosophers. Unsurprisingly, these twin movements have attracted a great deal of controversy within philosophy. Yet as Appiah shows, these movements can be seen as a return to philosophy’s roots. Philosophy has traditionally been closely informed by scientific work, and the best philosophers have often engaged in science themselves. It is the era of conceptual analysis divorced from mere empirical engagement that is the aberration, not the turn to the empirical. If philosophy is, as Wilfred Sellars famously put it, the attempt “to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term” it is required to engage deeply with the sciences. One positive outcome of Appiah’s work, it is to be hoped, is to lower tensions between the traditional and empirically minded camps and encourage more fertile collaborations. If there is any area in which collaboration seems unlikely, however, it is ethics. Nowhere has the Neuroethics (2010) 3:197–200 DOI 10.1007/s12152-010-9076-2" @default.
