A mirror shows different contents to each observer and each one takes what he sees to be the reality that is shown. Does the revelation necessarily designate, and so prove the existence, of the one to whom the contents are revealed? The question is part of a metaphysics of the making visible, of being as appearance and hence of the prior observing subject, as much as it also a part of the metaphysics of seeking. Appearances and questions arise and pass like clouds, the sky remains serene behind them, like a subject stripped of all accidents. But what if it is not the thoughts that arise and pass but the entire world of experience with all its contexts and references? Experience seems to be the play of the distance between subject and world. The unsuspected alternative is to understand this as a free-play without an other, as devoid of all oppositions and even contrasts, as too simple to even take place.
