ABSTRACT
The first section looks at ways in which philosophy can impact upon science by examining and critiquing certain of its foundational assumptions; the second section reciprocates, looking at how scientific results and findings can constrain philosophical theorizing. The third section then looks at a particular issue that has exercised both philosophers and empirical scientists-the relationship between the sensory aspects of our experiences and our capacity to cognitively access or report on our experiences. The final section then looks at more indirect ways in which science can impact upon philosophy, by looking at the argument that color realism can be refuted by considering the physiology of our visual systems.
