In addition to the above titles by Russell, Russell's most influential writings relating to his theories of metaphysics and epistemology include Our Knowledge of the External World (1914a), "The Relation of Sense-Data to Physics" (1914c), "The Philosophy of Logical Atomism" (1918, 1919), "On Propositions: What They Are and How They Mean" (1919b) and An Outline of Philosophy (1927b).
One way to counter Cook Wilson on the absurdity of the locution 'sensible extensions' is to distinguish between 'private' and 'public' space, as Russell was to do in 'The Relation of Sense-Data to Physics' (Russell 1917, 139 171); as it is well-known, this postulation generates its own set of difficulties, e.g., the discovery that space must have 6 dimensions (Russell 1917, 154).

In case of perception the relation of the sense organ with the object characterised by the property which figures as the qualifier in the perceptual cognition is said to be the virtue.
The relation of the senses and understanding is a 'hypostatic union', a 'communicatio idiomatum' (phrases borrowed from Christian theological discussion of how the two natures of divine and human are united in Christ).
Even so, direct acquaintance is at some level still a necessary condition for the formation of beliefs about the external world, and the relation of the senses to sensible objects is regarded as largely unproblematic.
In the account of illumination in De Magistro, Augustine uses an analogy as old as Plato [see Republic VI.508a ff.] according to which the mind's relation to intelligible objects is like the relation of the senses to sensible objects [see De Magistro 12.39; see also Soliloquia 1.12 and O'Daly 1987, pg. 204].
The purpose of the study was to investigate relation between sense of coherence during medical education and styles of success in the medical career.
"Due attention to the inside of books, and due contempt for the outside," he pronounced in a letter to his son, "is the proper relation between a man of sense and his books".
