<epistemology> radical form of representationalism which posits that all knowledge is constructed from or consists in pure sensations (such as blotches of color, pure tones, etc.). Some adherents go further and claim that we do not have any direct knowledge of reality, only of sensations. The popular meaning is obviously non-philosophical and quite unrelated. (References from associationalism and sensualism.)
