Ömer E.: Many empiricists have been willing to say that they don’t care about the possibility that there might be real things lying behind the flow of sensations. It’s only the sensations that we have any dealings with. Maybe it makes no sense even to try to think about objects lying behind sensations. Perhaps our concept of the world is just a concept of a patterned collection of sensations. This view is sometimes called “phenomenalism.”
