The Experimental Philosophy Wiki

The newly created Experimental Philosophy Wiki is now up and running! 

The main goal of the wiki is to have a central place where people involved with Experimental Philosophy can have access to X-Phi papers and keep track of a field which is growing very rapidly. The hope is to eventually include every paper in experimental philosophy (like a  more complete version of Joshua Knobe's current  experimental philosophy page).  The wiki will also allow for papers to be categorized and discussed.

So please join in! The only way will be able to make full use of the potential of this tool is if everyone is willing to add their own experimental philosophy papers (there is no other way for us to have access to all of them).  You should also feel free to add papers which have not yet been published.

If you have any questions or want to get even more invloved in the Experimental Philosophy Wiki, you can contact me here: philli@email.unc.edu

Nicely done Jonathan! Although it is curious that this blog is not listed as one of the X-phi blogs, no? Perhaps it should be moved from the x-phi pages section to the blog section. I also think the Experimental Philosophers wiki is a bit odd since you either need to place people in multiple categories (which is a pain) or pigeonhole them into only one (which isn't helpful). I personally think the papers section on the main X-phi wiki page should suffice. Just a thought...

Thanks for the suggestions Thomas! I think you are absolutely right about this site and we should move it to the X-phi blogs section. Very easily done! That is the beauty of the wiki.

About the Experimental Philosophers page, I wonder if it is, in general, helpful for other people to have a list of people involved in experimental philosophy with links to their homepages. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

However, I agree with you about the categories being either redundant or too limited; let's get rid of them.

On a more general note, if anyone is unsure how exactly to put a paper up (or how to change something about the wiki they think should be changed), feel free to email me and I would be more than happy to help you out.

On the other hand, editing is very simple, so don't be afraid to try yourself, it is impossible to do any real damage to the wiki, everything can be just as easily undone.
