| Phenomenalism: is the notion that it is the manner of experience of the objects, and not the objects in themselves to which we can refer. In this case, the existence of the corresponding objects is not assumed in principle for all sensory impressions. See also empiricism, perception, sensory perception, sensory impressions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Arthur C. Danto on Phenomenalism - Dictionary of Arguments
I 217 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._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
