of the field of experimental moral and political philosophy. This chapter
should be useful both for readers approaching this active area of research for
the first time and for experts who want to reflect on the state of the field or
simply to get a glimpse of what is currently being done. In line with this goal,
in this introduction, we will combine a review of already well-established
developments and findings with more controversial issues and positions,
some of which are still subject to debate or negotiation within the field.
moral judgement with moral dilemmas, contrasting them with the overlooked possibility that the primary mechanism consists in assessing a net balance of the costs versus benefits of the sacrificial action. Different dilemmas scenarios present different net balances of cost versus benefits, and participants usually change between them from disapproval to approval motivated by what appears to be a larger positive balance of moral benefits. The thresholds for such change are personal and vary. For the instrument to reliably estimate the individual differences in approval thresholds, there can be no disagreement on the facts affecting the balances and the ranking order of the items.We designed an instrument targeting three different balances with five indicators each and ran an exploratory factor analysis to prove that the different balances operate cleanly as separate factors. The expected three-factor solution and a stable ranking of the balance points were obtained across three samples from three different continents in three languages, suggesting the activation of cross-culturally stable cognitive processes. The strength ratio of utilitarian (U) to deontological (D) sensitivity was calculated for each participant and corrected using the scores of a balance-point with no net benefits. This instrument overcomes validation difficulties burdening the existing measures and offers good prospects for further development.
competente. Aun aceptando parte de las críticas de Kauppinen, en este artículo sostenemos, en primer lugar, que la supuesta incapacidad de la Filosofía Experimental para acceder a las intuiciones robustas de los hablantes tiene que ver en
gran medida con los métodos experimentales empleados hasta ahora por los filósofos experimentales. En segundo lugar, defendemos que el proyecto de reforma llevado a cabo desde la Filosofía Experimental resultará viable solo si se
adoptan una serie de consejos metodológicos procedentes de la economía experimental. Únicamente entonces podrán los experimentalistas responder con éxito a la objeción de Kauppinen.

reflective equilibrium. Part 2 focuses on issues in normative ethics and legal and political philosophy such as virtue ethics, utilitarianism, theories of justice, and criminal responsibility. Finally, the chapters in Part 3 tackle various applied ethical issues, including feminist X-Phi, animal welfare, experimental bioethics, and self-driving cars. Experiments in Moral and Political Philosophy will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in ethics, applied ethics, experimental philosophy, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of law.

1. Desde un punto de vista cronológico Ronald Dworkin presenta, en primer lugar, una teoría de la justicia que trata de ser neutral con respecto a la buena vida. El autor de Los derechos en serio da posteriormente un giro a su obra y presenta una concepción de la buena vida de la que, asegura, se deduce su teoría de la justicia. Mi primer objetivo consiste en presentar el proyecto de Dworkin en el orden inverso a cómo aparece en su obra, tratando de dar coherencia a sus diversos elementos y poniendo énfasis tanto en la deducción de la ética dworkiniana a la política, como en su nueva concepción de la neutralidad liberal.
2. En segundo lugar, quisiera someter a crítica algunos aspectos del proyecto de Dworkin que, a mi modo de ver, pese a su atractivo no resultan del todo convincentes.
