What does SENSUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In philosophy, the raw content of a single sensation, such as a patch of colour or a sound, taken apart from any judgement about the object that caused it.
Philosophers of perception use sensum for what is immediately given to the senses before the mind interprets it. Seeing a red patch is a sensum; recognising that it belongs to an apple is a further step. The plural is sensa, and the term was most at home in early twentieth century debates about whether we perceive objects directly or only through such inner data.
