Strangely, philosophers have often wondered whether anyone other than themselves have a mind. Luckily, they’ve all concluded that they're not alone.
The trouble comes in trying to justify the grounds on which this conclusion is based. Cognitive experience (‘having a mind’) can only be had from the privileged position of within one’s own mind. Belief that others have it too is an inference based on shared behaviour, physical form, origins and language.
Still, particularly if you believe strongly that God exists, it is logically possible that you are the only finitely conscious being (presumably the solipsist philosopher doesn’t imagine being God himself, or he would know the answer to his own question. The thought that the answers to some questions might be hidden from God’s infinitely conscious mind would belie the belief that the solipsist is God). The question, then, would be why would God do that? And, more importantly, who is going to be interested in the philosopher’s writings?
