Phaneron

The phaneron (From Ancient Greek: φανερός, romanized: phaneros, meaning 'visible, manifest') is the subject matter of phenomenology, or of what Charles Sanders Peirce later called phaneroscopy. The term, which was introduced in 1905, is similar to the concept of the "phenomenon" in the way it meant "whatever is present at any time to the mind in any way". It is the total of all that the mind perceives and knows, whether it corresponds to reality or not.
