Shaun Nichols is an influential philosopher, now employed as a professor in the philosophy department at the University of Arizona. His early work was concerned primarily with questions in theory of mind. Subsequently, he became one of the major figures in the experimental philosophy movement.

In his work within experimental philosophy, Nichols has addressed questions about cross-cultural differences [Machery, E., Mallon, R., Nichols, S., and Stich, S. 2004. Semantics, Cross-Cultural Style. Cognition, 92, B1-B12.] , free will [Nichols, S. 2006. Folk Intuitions about Free Will. Journal of Cognition and Culture, 6.] , intentional action [Nichols, S. and Ulatowski, J. forthcoming. Intuitions and Individual Differences: The Knobe Effect Revisited. Mind & Language.] , the nature of moral judgment [Nichols, S. 2002. Norms with Feeling: Towards a Psychological Account of Moral Judgment, Cognition, 84, 221-236.] , and a number of other key philosophical concepts.
