Yes I can. Philosophy has proven it. Saying "Pain" "ouch" "you die" etc, all doesn't prove the material world exists. Philosophy has proven that much.
Do you want me to provide that proof or isn't obvious by the very fact we experience things but haven't ontologically grasped what forms the material world, that it cannot be proven?
In fact naturalism wise, how would we ever get to know what is the essence of the material world? We just use our imagination along with our five senses.
Okay. So philosophy has proven that philosophy's idea of philosophy can't actually prove anything besides the notion that it can't prove anything. So all considered, what is comprehensively the most profitable atitude to take towards the drubbing and the comprehensive circumstances surrounding it, which philosophy can't prove to be happening, but which is nonetheless taking on every non-philosophical appearence of really happening?
