Our understanding of the mind and experience, once the product of largely a priori reasoning and speculation, has increasingly profited from discoveries in the empirical sciences. Most obviously, philosophers have drawn on data from the neurosciences and psychology, but research from such disparate fields as biological evolution, psychiatry and quantum physics has also been claimed to have possible implications for the philosophies of mind and perception.

CUP have made freely available a pdf of D.H. Mellors' classic book, "Matters of Metaphysics". It's available here, and I, for one, am thrilled!
