A world of one?

We are all solipsists, so to speak.

Assuming I am not really the only one.

Think of Leibnitz or Berkeley, and the pre-established harmony.

Without anyone to pre-establish it.

And, following Hume, without really any one to be the only one.

Anyway, we take the experience of others entirely on faith.

Their pleasure, their pain, their whole inwardness.

Without which they are not.
