Experimental Philosophy

A friend directed me to survey experiments conducted recently by the philosopher Joshua Knobe. His research is at the interface of cognitive psychology and ethics. You can take part in these yourself at his website: http://www.unc.edu/~knobe/

These find that moral considerations play a role in the process by which people determine whether or not a behavior is intentional.
