Answer

Machism, inspired by the writings of Ernst Mach, is a philosophical current emphasizing the role of sensory experience and the limitations of human knowledge. It challenges the notion of objective reality, independent of human perception. Machists assert that all knowledge is derived from sensations, and that scientific concepts are merely shorthand summaries of sensory experiences.
