ABSTRACT
H. H. Price purported to discover what was given in sensation by discounting everything in the perception of an object which could possibly be doubted. The residue, the existence of which is indubitable, he found to be a given particular-in the case of sight a coloured 'patch' standing out from a background of other coloured patches-and it is to sensible particulars of this sort (i.e. coloured patches, sounds, smells, etc.) that Price and other theorists gave the name 'sense-data'.
