| Sense Data Theory: The sense data theory holds that when we perceive an object, we are directly aware of a mental representation of the object called a sense datum. Sense data are supposed to be private and subjective, and they are not identical to the objects that they represent. See also Perception, Knowledge, Experience, Seeing, Qualia, Qualities, World/Thinking, Stimuli, Proximal theory, Distal theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
