ABSTRACT

This chapter reviews research in the rapidly growing corner of the experimental philosophy of mind. A. I. Goldman and M. McGrath outline two ways of using cognitive science in epistemology. There are applications to the epistemic subject and applications to the epistemic attributor. One work that has shaped the experimental philosophy of consciousness is H. M. Gray, K. Gray, and D. Wegner. According to Gray et al., the results indicate that people view minds as differing along two dimensions—Agency and Experience. It seems that from a folk perspective, minds can vary in their capacities for agential states and experiential states. A lot of work in the experimental philosophy of consciousness is driven by responses to vignettes involving simple robots. The good news is that can keep this review reasonably tidy, since most of the extant work on consciousness qualifies as experimental philosophy narrowly construed.
