The Experimental Philosophy Page has now been overhauled to make it even easier to find every paper related to experimental philosophy and a lot more besides. You should take a second to check it out yourself, but here are a few of the many updates:
- We now use PhilPapers to keep track of all the papers, so any changes you make to x-phi papers on the PhilPapers site will automatically update our site as well. In addition, adding a paper to the site is now as easy as putting it in the right 'Experimental Philosophy' category on PhilPapers.
- If you're interested in seeing the research on a particular topic, you can browse papers by category, or you can also just search all of the xphi papers using the new search feature.
- We've now added an events page which shows all of the upcoming x-phi related events.
- We've also built a new part of the site in case you're interested in seeing what's new in the x-phi world, including the newest social media, x-phi press, labs and organizations, books and more.
Take a look - we're definitely interested in any comments or suggestions you might have!
Easy to navigate.
But that background...my goodness that background.

I will be the second to politely suggest you reconsider the background. On the one hand, it's visually jarring and it screws up the otherwise easily navigable interface. On the other hand, I think at this point experimental philosophy is a big enough tent that we ought not send the message that we're on some armchair burning crusade. Just my two cents. That being said, thanks for all your hard work in updating the content, etc. You've done a great service to the whole community!

Burning armchairs are old hat. How about dead armchairs:

Or armchairs that are clearly about to burn:

Actually, I began by looking for an image of armchairs working together in a laboratory, but couldn't find one. In the meantime, if you google image armchairs, you find some remarkable designs, and you also find evidence of some Wittgensteinian ideas.

And by popular request, the page now has a new background: http://pantheon.yale.edu/~jk762/ExperimentalPhilosophy.html
Sorry Eddy - I tried to go for a repeating skull-armchair image, but the white text ended up being pretty hard to read.
