Experimental Philosophy
Experimental philosophy uses experimental research methods from psychology and cognitive science in order to investigate both philosophical and metaphilosophical questions.

It also explores metaphilosophical questions about the nature of philosophical inquiry and its proper methodology. This book provides a detailed and provocative introduction to this innovative field, focusing on the relationship between experimental philosophy and the aims and methods of more traditional analy...
A Simple Life
On top of struggling with life at home, Sophia Ann Hart has to suddenly move to a new place. She must adjust to her new surroundings--a new city and a new school. With this move, Sophia meets two boys who quickly become her best friends, offering her a new perspective on life, and help her find a sense of belonging and purpose. Alongside each other, through all that could go wrong and all that may go right, the three new friends navigate the challenges of adolescence, supporting each other when they need it. However, sometimes, even on the most exciting journeys, the bad times can overshadow the good ones, and a lie can hurt, especially when believed by a friend. It can be difficult to see what really matters--true friendship and, ultimately, a real family.

The Philosophy of Philosophy

The Devil’s Advocate versus God’s Honest Truth
The Devil’s Advocate versus God’s Honest Truth is a scholarly monograph exploring the rationality of religion, particularly the tenability of theism, through a dialectical analysis of plausible arguments for the existence of God versus reasonable grounds for suspicion. It offers a comprehensive and balanced coverage of the issues, inviting readers to reflect and ponder the subject in its full scope. The book thus makes up for the missing objectivity in an area that has long been dominated by sectarian scholarship and polarized beyond reconciliation.
