Empfindebare

Empfindebare is a German term that translates to "perceptible" or "tangible" in English. It refers to something that can be perceived through the senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. In a broader sense, it can also describe something that is evident, obvious, or readily apparent.

The concept of empfindebare is often used in philosophical discussions, particularly in epistemology, to distinguish between things that are directly experienced and those that are abstract or inferred. For example, a physical object like a table is empfindebare, as it can be seen and touched. An idea or a mathematical concept, on the other hand, is generally not considered empfindebare in the same way.

In everyday language, empfindebare can be used to describe a noticeable change or a clear effect. If a policy has an empfindebare impact on the economy, it means the consequences are easily observed and measured. Similarly, an empfindebare shift in public opinion suggests a change that is widely recognized and felt. The term emphasizes the quality of being able to be experienced or detected by conscious awareness.
