Zusammenfassung

In diesem Artikel werden Perspektiven aufgezeigt, wie Experimente der Sozialwissenschaften, Ökonomik und Psychologie für die Ethik fruchtbar werden können. Als Ergebnis wird ein neues Forschungsfeld „Experimentelle Ethik“ vorgestellt. Forschungsfragen, praktische Implikationen sowie mögliche Kritikpunkte einer experimentellen Ethik werden diskutiert.

This article outlines some perspectives for an „Experimental Ethics“ which makes use of experimental methods from economics and psychology. Central research questions, practical implications as well as possibilities for criticism are discussed.
