1. Aims and scope:

Since 1998 the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation has annually organized a 
Summer School on frontier topics between philosophy and economics and 
other social sciences, bringing together scholars from all these fields 
to explore them. The aim of this year Summer School is to explore the 
potential avenues for collaboration between the growing disciplines of 
experimental economics and experimental philosophy. Experimental 
economics has evolved into a thriving subfield, as attested by the 
number of experimental papers published in leading general economics 
journals. This growing enthusiasm for experiments in economics has 
coincided with the revival of philosophical and methodological analyses 
of causality, which view the controlled experiment as the privileged 
gate to causal inference. But more importantly, in the last years, a new 
field known as experimental philosophy has set out to complement or even 
substitute for pre-theoretical intuitions regarding philosophical themes 
such as moral dilemmas or rationality. At a moment in which experimental 
economics is already well-established and experimental philosophy is 
emerging, this meeting compares their main themes and results.
