Philosophy is about concepts.

Science involves experiments.

If you are doing experiments you're probably a psychologist or a neuroscientist

or perhaps an anthropologist.

True, in the 18th century, he mixed it up a bit by doing moral psychology,

but that's because psychology as a science hadn't really been invented.

But now, we clearly demarcate philosophy from science.

Well, some contemporary philosophers don't quite see it that way.

Joshua Nobe is at the forefront of a new movement that cause itself experimental philosophy or X-5 for short.

Their symbol is a burning armchair.

To find out more about this trend, philosophy bites put Professor Nobe in the hot seat.

Joshua Nobe, welcome to philosophy bites.

Thanks dear.

So the topic we're going to talk about today is experimental philosophy.
