On my view, there is an external reality which we can know by experience and (to a lesser extent) testimony. But I accept that because of God, who has created us with a purpose to loving (and therefore, knowing) realities other than ourselves - the world, other people, and God Himself. I am asking the skeptical question because I want to know on your various views of the world how you justify belief in an external reality.
Plausibility. If the side of one argument becomes more sophistry than logical discourse and the other side of that argument is unprovable and yet grounded in a known reality - many (dare I say most) who realize that their choice may yet be in error would still rather error on the side of plausibility.
.... but that's just my humble two cents.
