Experiments in Ethics is a 2008 book by the Princeton philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah.
[1] The book is based on a series of lectures delivered by Appiah in 2005 at Bryn Mawr College.
David Hume, he says, was "adamant that moral philosophy had to be grounded in facts about human nature, in psychology and history".
Chapter Two deals with the challenges presented by behavioural science to ethics.
The book notes that intuitive responses depend greatly on how a situation is framed.
