Phenomenalism is the view that physical objects cannot justifiably be said to exist in themselves, but only as perceptual phenomena or sensory stimuli (e.g. redness, hardness, softness, sweetness, etc.) situated in time and in space. In particular, some forms of phenomenalism reduce talk about physical objects in the external world to talk about bundles of sense-data.
Phenomenalism is a radical form of empiricism. Its roots as an ontological view of the nature of existence can be traced back to George Berkeley and his subjective idealism, upon which David Hume further elaborated.John Stuart Mill had a theory of perception which is commonly referred to as classical phenomenalism. This differs from Berkeley's idealism in its account of how objects continue to exist when no one is perceiving them (this view is also known as "local realism"). Berkeley claimed that an omniscient God perceived all objects and that this was what kept them in existence, whereas Mill claimed that permanent possibilities of experience were sufficient for an object's existence. These permanent possibilities could be analysed into counterfactual conditionals, such as "if I were to have y-type sensations, then I would also have x-type sensations".
The Universe is all of time and space and its contents. The Universe includes planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy. The observable universe is about 28 billion parsecs (91 billion light-years) in diameter at the present time. The size of the whole Universe is not known and may be either finite or infinite. Observations and the development of physical theories have led to inferences about the composition and evolution of the Universe.

Robert Brandom gives a talk on the work of Wilfrid Sellars and his critique of empiricism (both traditional empiricism and 20th century logical empiricism). The following types of Kantian arguments employed by Sellars are discussed: Firstly, that concepts get their meaning by the role they play in our reasoning, NOT by some immediate and direct non-inferential connection to experience. So too for empirical descriptive claims. There is no "Givenness" in experience which could play a justificatory role in the way the empiricists supposed. Empirical claims always already contain conceptualization or interpretation. For, in order for something to count as a reason for belief, it has to stand in rational, inferential relations. Hence, sensory impressions on their own cannot serve as the foundat...
An interesting discussion between A. J. Ayer and Bernard Williams on various philosophical topics, including the nature of philosophy, positivism, truth, scientific realism, phenomenalism, perception, Wittgenstein, religion, pragmatism, relativism, etc.
George Berkeley was an Anglican bishop who was one of the most important philosophers of the eighteenth century. He was an empiricist who believed that all ideas and knowledge must ultimately be based on our own sense experience, and that objects themselves are nothing but mere collections of qualities or ideas that exist in the mind, a view called immaterialism or idealism. His interests and writing ranged widely, from the science of optics to religion and the medicinal benefits of tar water. His work on the nature of perception and knowledge was a spur to many later thinkers, including David Hume and Immanuel Kant. The clarity of Berkeley's writing, and his ability to pose a profound problem in an easily understood form, has made him one of the most admired early modern thinkers. Berkel...

PLATO: Protagoras - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Audio Books Philosophy & Philosophers - Protagoras (Greek: Πρωταγόρας, ca. 490 BC -- 420 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher and is numbered as one of the sophists by Plato. In his dialogue Protagoras, Plato credits him with having invented the role of the professional sophist or teacher of virtue. He is also believed to have created a major controversy during ancient times through his statement that "man is the measure of all things". This idea was revolutionary for the time and contrasted with other philosophical doctrines that claimed the universe was based on something objective, outside the human influence. Plato ascribes relativism to Protagoras and uses his predecessor's teachings as a foil for his own commitment to objective and ...
In 1979 Richard Rorty published his magnum opus Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. The headlining ambition of the book is to complete a turn Rorty discerned in current analytic philosophy against a constellation of ideas informed by the assumption that Mind serves as the foundation of epistemic authority. By setting this in a broader ‘therapeutic’ context inspired by Heidegger and Wittgenstein, the aim was to ‘liberate’ philosophers from their epistemologically fixated inquiries and, in the spirit of the book’s other hero, Dewey, provide them with a new intellectual task: helping to spread the ‘precious values’ of the Enlightenment by playing their part in “continuing the conversation of the West”. Its attempt to transform the philosopher from epistemologist to hermeneuticist makes philo...
Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300) In this second lecture on deconstruction, Professor Paul Fry concludes his consideration of Derrida and begins to explore the work of Paul de Man. Derrida's affinity for and departure from Levi-Strauss's distinction between nature and culture are outlined. De Man's relationship with Derrida, their similarities and differences--particularly de Man's insistence on "self-deconstruction" and his reliance on Jakobson--are discussed. The difference between rhetoric and grammar, particularly the rhetoricization of grammar and the grammaticization of rhetoric, is elucidated through de Man's own examples taken from "All in the Family," Yeats' "Among School Children," and the novels of Proust. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, Lifelong Friend and Personal Secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approx. 45 cardinals while studying and working in Rome for 15 years and he has an uncanny and substantial knowledge of many things. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. A breath of fresh air in today’s widespread climate of many weak, ignorant, and naive clerics and theologians, he was affectionately called by several of his friends during his life “the bull in the china shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no ...
An introduction to the debate between direct realism and representative realism.
Bryan Magee and A.J. Ayer discuss the 20th century philosophical movement of logical positivism (also called logical empiricism). Professor Ayer helped to introduce logical positivism to the Anglophone world with his work "Language, Truth, and Logic". In this interview, Ayer discusses the movement, including its members, its philosophical approach, the verification principle, and the influence of the movement in and outside of philosophy. This interview was part of a BBC program from 1978.
