is this basicaly what reality is according to philosophy??

Question

i have read alot on it but this is what it seems like it concludes:

you CAN show reality is actualy there and other minds exist through analogy, logic, and the philosophy of language. but we can never prove that its there on the grounds of emperical evidence.

and can never truly know its nature whatsoever because we are trapped within our subjectivity. we can never determin its objectivity because we all experience it through our individual perceptions

am i right?

Answer 1

Yes you are, nothing exists by itself, but to ourselves, by our senses, that means that everything in the world is subjective._

Answer 2

Reality, at least in science, is a consensus. It is being described more and more by mathematics. Mathematics shows the nature of reality because it enables prediction which can be verified over the observation of several trained observers. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can be pretty sure it's a duck.

Answer 3

Science forgets the most important mode of knowing--revelation--this is what God does for us in the Bible--he reveals himself, ourselves, and our relationship to him.

Empirical evidence can always be overthrown because it is based on observation--and the degree of correctness of the observation depends on the number of factors which have been factored in--always finite, and mostly eventually redifined because of it.

Thus God revealed himself in His Holy Word and in his Son, Christ Jesus, who himself became a man--only true man and true God ever.
