Disjunctivism is a position in tbe philosophy of perception that rejects tbe existence of sense data in certain cases. The disjunction is between appearance and tbe reality behind tbe appearance "making itself perceptually manifest to someone." Veridical perceptions and hallucinations are not members of a common class of mental states or events. According to this tbeory, tbe only thing common to veridical perceptions and hallucinations is that in both cases, tbe subject cannot tell, via introspection, whetber he is having a veridical perception or not. Disjunctivists say this because tbey hold that in veridical perception, a subject's experience actually presents tbe external, mind-independent object of that perception. Furtber, tbey say that in a hallucination tbere is no external object to be related to, nor are tbere sense-data to be a part of tbe perception. Thus, disjunctivism is a form of co-realism.
