phenomenalism

n. belief that phenomena comprise the only true knowledge (Philosophy)

In epistemology and the philosophy of perception, phenomenalism is the view that physical objects do not exist as things 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, phenomenalism reduces talk about physical objects in the external world to talk about bundles of sense-data.

(n.)
That theory which limits positive or scientific knowledge to phenomena only, whether material or spiritual.
  

The monistic view that all empirical statements (such as the laws of physics) can be placed in a one to one correspondence with statements about only the phenomenal (i.e. mental appearances). (See idealism , neutral monism , monism ).
