Review Quotes:
"An original exploration of how the field of experimental philosophy can contribute to important questions in political philosophy. Drawing together a diverse group of scholars the volume demonstrates how political philosophy can be empirically informed." --Gillian Brock, Professor of Philosophy, University of Auckland, New Zealand
"It is puzzling that while there is a rich literature on the relevance of experimental philosophy to topics in moral philosophy, experimental treatment of questions in political philosophy have been few and far between. This important new collection helps to fill this gap and illustrates how the empirical methods of experimental philosophy can help to shed new light on core questions of political philosophy." --Christian Barry, Director, Research School of the Social Sciences, Australian National University, Australia
