The point of this wider-than-normal usage of the term "phenomenalism, " according to which even some forms of direct realism deserve to be called phenomenalistic, is to call attention to important continuities of thought between theories often thought to be competitors. Williams's target is not phenomenalism in its classical sense-datum and reductionist form but empiricism generally. Williams examines and rejects the idea that unless our beliefs are answerable to a "given" element in experience, objective knowledge will be impossible.
