Experimental philosophy is a new interdisciplinary field that uses methods normally associated with psychology to investigate questions normally associated with philosophy. The present review focuses on research in experimental philosophy on four central questions. First, why is it that people's moral judgments appear to influence their intuitions about seemingly nonmoral questions? Second, do people think that moral questions have objective answers, or do they see morality as fundamentally relative? Third, do people believe in free will, and do they see free will as compatible with determinism? Fourth, how do people determine whether an entity is conscious?
实验哲学是一个新的跨学科领域，它使用通常与心理学相关的方法来研究通常与哲学相关的问题。本综述集中于实验哲学在四个核心问题上的研究。第一，为什么人们的道德判断似乎会影响他们对看似非道德问题的直觉？第二，人们认为道德问题有客观答案，还是他们认为道德从根本上是相对的？第三，人们是否相信自由意志，以及他们是否认为自由意志与决定论相容？第四，人们如何确定一个实体是否有意识？
