TL;DR: The X-Phi Replicability Project (XRP) as discussed by the authors was formed to estimate the reproducibility of experimental philosophy (osf.io/dvkpr) studies published between 2003 and 2015 and recruited 20 research teams across 8 countries to conduct a high-quality replication of each study in order to compare the results to the original published findings.

TL;DR: Kareem Khalifa as discussed by the authors argues that the received view should be revised but not abandoned, and he clarifies and answers the most central questions in this burgeoning field of philosophical research: what kinds of cognitive abilities are involved in understanding? What is the relationship between the understanding that explanations provide and the knowledge that experts have of broader subject matters? Can there be understanding without explanation? How can one understand something on the basis of falsehoods? Is understanding a species of knowledge?

TL;DR: The authors argue that the three most developed accounts of understanding (Grimm's, de Regt's, and de Regts and Dieks's) can be replaced by earlier ideas about scientific explanation without loss.
