In Philosophy on the Way to Ecology, Part I by David Abram, the idea of solipsism is questioned as a part of how we perceive things. The chapter suggests that information is completely self-made from a personal point of view. Abram writes “…theoretical and scientific practice grows out of and remains supported by the forgotten ground of our directly felt and lived experience, and has value and meaning only in reference to this primordial and open realm”. When we look upon the world, we see it as we know it. As we look upon the mess humans created, shouldn’t it be in our nature to try and transform it to what we ultimately want to see?
