4153	Are sense-data the material of which the universe is made? [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: Are sense-data the material of which the universe is made?
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Philosophical Investigations [1952], §401)
	A reaction: Presumably the question is meant to be absurd, and to a realist it is. You can't serious think that a filing cabinet is made of sensations.
