VsPhänomenalism: Problem: there is an immeasurable number of possible sensory data even for the simplest objects. Any experience is therefore incomplete.
>Sense data, >Sense impressions, >Experience, >Completeness,
>World, >Reality, >World/thinking.
I 218
Problem of translation: the question is whether in the end I do not need physical terms to explain perceptions.
>Perception, >Everyday language, >Explanation, >Observation,
>Observation language.
So, physical terms to eliminate physical terms. That would defeat phenomenalism as a viable way.
>Phenomenalism, >Physicalism, >Theoretical terms, >Physics.
I 225
Idealism, realism, phenomenalism: no experience leads to differences between these three theories of experience.
>Idealism, >Realism.
The differences must be entirely outside of experience! Everything given in experience is compatible with all three theories of experience. A theory of experience must leave experience untouched.
>Description levels, >">Levels/order.
Representationalism: a correct representation is as good "in the spirit" as a false one. Alone, one of them does not manage to correspond to reality, so it is false.
>Representation, >Mind, >Correctness.
I 228
It is the question whether representationalism is true. This is exactly what representationalism cannot prove.
>Proofs, >Provability.
