Abstract
Experimental philosophy is a modern philosophical movement that uses systematic inquiry to emphasize philosophy. This means that psychology-related methods (experiments, statistical analysis, studies on development, reaction time studies, patient studies,) are generally used by experimental philosophers, although generally used to solve philosophical problems. Additionally, the primary goal of experimental philosophy is to set the public's view against the philosopher's view of the subject being studied. In this essay, I discuss the difference between philosophers and non-philosophers regarding the ethics of Robin Hood's activity. The first goal of this study is to determine what common people think about the morality of Robin Hood's deeds. 2. To identify the contrasts between philosophers and common people. In this study, an online survey method was employed. By contrasting the views of philosophers and common people on the issue of whether Robin Hood's activities are moral, experimental philosophy highlights the significance of non-philosophers opinions in philosophy. Let's examine Robin Hood's philosophy and experimental philosophy separately before getting into the specifics.
