Psychological term or phrase for experiencing the world via the senses

I am looking for a psychological term or phrase for experiencing the world via the senses. (I am particularly interested in visual, auditory and thermal stimuli.) I am not looking for the word "sensory" or similar, as that is too physiological.

Phenomenalism conveys the idea.

a theory that all knowledge is of phenomena and that what is construed to be perception of material objects is simply perception of sense-data

the view that all things, including human beings, consist simply of the aggregate of their observable, sensory qualities.

It is a philosophical term but it is also used in psychology, and there is even a definition in psychology dictionary. There is an article called "A Defence Of Phenomenalism In Psychology" (written by an idealist philosopher called FH Bradley) which defends psychology by endeavoring to fix its true sense and it says that it is a rational attitude in psychology but it is senseless in metaphysics. The term is also called sensationalism but sensationalism has also another meaning which is more common.

You can use the adjective phenomenal to define this kind of world also.

known through the senses rather than through thought or intuition
