    Challenges→We never directly experience material things; every experience has sense-data rather than material things as its objects.

    Key Terms

    Hallucinatory experiences(as used in philosophy of perception)
    Experiences where your mind perceives something that isn't actually there—like seeing a unicorn when no unicorn exists.
    P1(Premise establishing that self-subsistent entities are not immanent in humans.)
    Nothing that is itself by itself is in humans.
    Sense-datum (or sense data)(as used in epistemology and philosophy of perception)
    The basic building block of what you experience through your senses—like the redness you perceive when looking at an apple, which exists in your mind whether the apple is real or you're hallucinating.
    Veridical experiences(as used in philosophy of perception)
    Experiences that accurately reflect reality—like seeing an actual tree in front of you that really is there.
    disjunctivism
