Criticisms section

Is the characterization "ridiculous" appropriate for an encyclopedia? It seems very subjective.

Indeed. I've edited it out. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Instructional_and_presumptuous_language --Hypostate (talk) 18:00, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

The article mentions that sight is sense-data but does not make reference to things like smell, touch, hearing, etc. Do these apply as well?

I'm not an expert but i believe that they probably apply because it is to do with perception not just sight, but it is just that most theories concentrate on sight because that's just how it's always done.

plagiarism

this article reproduces very large section of the article from Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which is copyrighted. Hence, it is a clear case of copyright infringement. The article should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.177.243.61 (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear sentence

What does this mean?: "One of the greatest troubling aspects to 20th century theories of sense data is its unclear rubric nature."

Also, is there a way to support this claim? As it stands, it sounds like one person's opinion.

(n the meantime, I'm going to clean up its grammar.) dweinberger 13:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dweinberger (talk • contribs)
