Abstract

The chapters assembled in this volume, we think, show that Experimental Ethics is well on its way. We have seen that Experimental Ethics has quite a clear mission, that is, the empirical research of human moral reasoning in its relationship to classical philosophical ethics, and a historical foundation to build on (Part I of this volume). It is concerned with important current issues in moral philosophy (Part II) and able to reflect on and progressively improve its methods (Part III). Finally, it can speak up for itself in response to its critics (Part IV).
