Empirical Approaches to Normative Theory

Nagel’s position has been taken to heart neither by philosophers nor normative political theorists. Both have been reluctant to embrace empirical techniques.

Here we address extending empirical techniques, such as experiments,2 into social and political philosophy as a means of clarifying the nature of reality about which we ordinarily know too little.
