In producing this new empirical information, the project will also clarify two current theoretical debates.

"It gives us another way to get empirical information in circumstances that almost defy mathematical analysis," he said.

Access to valid empirical information is crucial for such decision making.

But he had a lot of empirical information about buffer bloat, and it was shocking.

"Let's toss this in for good old empirical information."

Too often that debate has been conducted in a vacuum, uninformed by detailed empirical information on how states and their component parts actually operate.

These themes are only noted here, because it makes more sense to develop them in Chapter 4 around relevant empirical information.

"This is empirical information on the ground."

In an area where empirical information would be useful, it is scant and inconclusive.

The first approach attempts to solve problems in philosophy of mind with empirical information from the neurosciences.
