Can we have certain knowledge about reality, based upon our observations of it, our conceptions of it and the terms we apply to these abstractions concluded? A dogmatist would answer yes unequivocally.
The skeptical, anti-foundationalist would deny that claim, answering that we are inextricably trapped in our subjective bubble, and our abstractions do not correspond to the world out there, so the only way we can have knowledge of that outside world to encounter it and describe it metaphorically, instinctively and state how it makes us feel.
