Comedian Eugene Mirman Explaining Experimental Philosophy

Comedian Eugene Mirman explaining experimental philosophy
By Joshua Knobe

As Edouard mentioned in his recent post, some of the most fascinating discoveries in experimental philosophy have come from work on people's ordinary understanding of human action.

Oddly enough, YouTube is now displaying a video of comedian Eugene Mirman explaining some of these new discoveries. I've included the video below. Hope you enjoy it.
