Yes, of course, all philosophical discussions are based to some extent on scientific facts. In this sense, in the philosophy of consciousness, both idealists and materialists will rely on scientific, including psychological, facts, offering alternative interpretations of them. Such criticism from modern Western authors is offered, for example, by D. Dennett, and of course it is not difficult to find it in Soviet literature – in Vygotsky, Luria, and others. – from the standpoint of Marxism. The latter approach is quite relevant – in fact, an updated version of Luria's approach can be found in E. D. According to J. Chomsky (see, for example, her “Neuropsychology”), the entire theory of the system dynamic localization of higher mental functions is built precisely on Marxism as a philosophical foundation.
To refute the same philosophical concept (not its individual aspects or arguments, and that is the concept in General) and science because the science and philosophy are different social phenomena with different functions: scientific statements simply record is phenomenal, empirical situation and allocate it some structure and regularities, while philosophical discussions revolve around the philosophical implications of these scientific theories (eg. the worldview implications of the theory of evolution can be interpreted as a critique of theism, or as an argument in favor of theism) or as a discussion of their most fundamental foundations (for example, one may wonder whether it is generally justified to consider sensory experience and empirical natural science relevant to the knowledge of truth).
In this sense, the data of psychology can be applied both to the criticism of idealism and to its justification.
