reality, what a concept...

For we shall maintain that no statement which refers to a "reality" transcending the limits of all possible sense-perception can possibly have any literal significance; from which it must follow that the labours of those who have striven to describe such a reality have all been devoted to the production of nonsense.

A.J. Ayer, Language, Truth, and Logic, 1936, 34

"...limits of sense-perception?"
