external world skepticism play in philosophy?
are they denying that there is a reality? or are they just saying that one can never truly know?
and is there a reality? and has any philosopher proved it?

Skeptics say that because of our subjective senses we will never know for sure the true external world (absolute reality).
Many philosopher have tried: Hegel, Kant, Descartes, Shoupenhauer, Plato, Aristotle, etc...
Read them, and decide for yourself if any of them proved that there is or that there is not an absolute reality.

sheesh
i get tired of people
asking if anyone proved it
you have to live with uncertainty
probabilities
spectrums
reality is not graspable by words and thoughts
you cant catch it in a net
while its fun to try
its bad if you think youve got it
cause then the world seems
to boring
