What remains when the entire universe collapses? Only thought. "I think, therefore I am" — this phrase by Descartes became not only a point of reference but also a verdict, forever imprisoning Western man in the solitary confinement of his own consciousness. Where is the proof that the external world is real? That other people are not merely convincing puppets in the dream of our lonely mind? This text is a journey into the heart of the most agonizing mystery of our existence. From Descartes' stove to Kafka's nightmares, from the gaze of the Other in Sartre to the abyss in the eyes of a stranger on the subway, from the digital ghosts of social networks to the temptation of an artificial interlocutor. This is the story of how the tragedy of solitude gives birth to music, love, and a great, quiet courage — the courage to believe in the reality of the other.
