His empirical studies have given rise to an explosion of work in psychology, and his philosophical work concerning the studies has become a central topic in contemporary moral philosophy.
Paul Griffiths (Sydney), a prominent philosopher of biology and psychology, has pioneered the use of experimental techniques to advance conceptual discussions in philosophy of science. Together with Karola Stotz, he has worked on gene concepts, and he has also explored the concept of innateness.

Karola Stotz (Sydney) Together with Paul Griffiths, Stotz pioneered the use of 'experimental philosophy' of science methods to analyze the diversification of the gene concept in different research communities within contemporary biology. This work is a prominent part of the recent literature on the concept of the gene, and has received significant attention from biologists.
Jonathan Weinberg (Indiana) has been the leading figure in epistemology and experimental philosophy. His widely cited papers have done a great deal to shape the field.
