This paper introduces new empirical methods into the philosophy of science as part of broader naturalization efforts which have been championed by some members of the philosophical community. In the beginning, we defend this approach and present the main reasons why new methods such as empirical conceptual analysis with advanced statistical analysis should be adopted and further developed. Next, we proceed to practical examples of how such empirical analysis can be applied to the concept of objectivity and its current understanding by working scientists, and also to the historical-philosophical notion of Crombie’s styles of scientific thinking and Hacking’s styles of styles of reasoning. In conclusion, we assess the utility and limitations of this new approach, particularly the potential of these qualitative and quantitative methods to produce exact and transparent images of a concept’s use in lay or professional target groups.
