- 1894, Rudolf Steiner, Die Philosophie der Freiheit, Dornach, published 1995, page 259:
- Man sieht: es wird hier zu der von meinem Bewußtsein erreichbaren Welt eine für dieses im Erleben unerreichbare hypothetisch hinzugedacht, weil man sonst sich zu der Behauptung gedrängt glaubt, alle Außenwelt, die ich meine vor mir zu haben, sei nur meine Bewußtseinswelt, und das ergäbe die – solipsistische – Absurdität, auch die andern Personen lebten nur innerhalb meines Bewußtseins.
- It is clear that to the world accessible to my consciousness an inaccessible one is here being added hypothetically, since one believes that otherwise one is forced to the conclusion that the whole external world, which I think is there in front of me, is nothing but the world of my consciousness, and to the further — solipsistic — absurdity that other people, too, exist only within my consciousness.[1]
