Objective reality
If there were any aspect of reality beyond what we are able to perceive or deduce, we would, by definition, not be able to perceive or deduce that it existed.
More broadly, it is concievable that there could be flaws in our perception of the world that we are not able to percieve, because of the fact that our perception is flawed.
Given that this difference may exist between the reality we experience and the reality that exists, do we take the line that if objective reality is different from subjective reality, there is nothing we can do about it, so why bother? Or that what we define as objective reality is what we experience, so anything else is irrelevant? Or is there some way to bridge this gap?
