Here is the syllabus of Stephen Stich’s seminar in experimental philosophy at Rutgers, which includes a useful reading list. (Hat tip to Brian Leiter for the link.) The course covers the following topics:

• Free will, compatibilism & responsibility
• The identity of objects
• The nature of conceptual change in science
• The reference of proper names
• Moral realism and fundamental moral disagreement
• Epistemic norms
• The role of appeals to intuition in philosophy

Some implications of Stich’s work have been discussed on this blog in connection with cultural cognition.
