Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of recent work in experimental political philosophy. It begins with a brief discussion of methodology: unlike many areas of experimental philosophy, experimentalists in political philosophy often draw on laboratory protocols from economics and forgo questionnaires and vignettes. The chapter then turns to recent experimental work on the social contract and suggest further avenues for exploration.
