"Philosophers have always made claims to
inferring/perceiving/theorising a reality no-one else has access to."

Well quite. In which case, is the Baudrillardian contention really different in kind to Plato's notions of forms or Kantian conceptions of the noumenal? As Nitetzche curtly put it, "The "apparent" world is the only one: the "true" world is merely added by a lie."
