Abstract
In this paper, my aim is to analyze the theory of phenomenalism and its basic assumptions in
the philosophies of Berkeley, Russell and Ayer. I will also analyze the way phenomenalism
and its sense-datum theory has been opposed by Austin and Strawson. My main argument is
that phenomenalism as a theory of reduction of the objects to sense-data can never be
sustained because no such reduction is possible and that we can never give up the conceptual
system in which the material bodies and persons are primary particulars.
