Abstract
An increasing number of philosophers run experiments and collect data on various aspects of philosophical topics. In two hands-on sessions (one morning and one afternoon session), participants get to know the basic tools of vignette-based and corpus-linguistic studies. Participants will design a questionnaire study, put their study online, run some statistical tests and interpret the collected data.
