DESCRIPTION:The replication crisis is perceived by many as one of the most
  significant threats to the reliability of research in cognitive science. 
 Though news of the replication crisis has been dominated by social psychol
 ogy\, all signs indicate that it likely extends to several other fields. T
 his paper assesses the possibility that the crisis and related challenges 
 extend to philosophy. According to one possibility\, philosophy simply inh
 erits a crisis by drawing on the same body of questionable evidence as in 
 science. According to another possibility\, a crisis is likely to extend t
 o philosophy because philosophers engage in similar practices and structur
 es as those implicated by the crisis in science. Proposals for improving p
 hilosophical research are offered in light of these possibilities.
