sum up the main ideas of solipsism. I’m presenting you with arguments of Gorgias of Leontini who is considered to be the father of solipsism.
- Nothing exists
- Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it
- Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others
- Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood
Solipsism: do others exist in your mind only?
Solipsism ( i/ˈsɒlɨpsɪzəm/; from Latin solus, meaning "alone", and ipse, meaning "self") is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure. The external world and other minds cannot be known, and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist. As such it is the only epistemological position that, by its own postulate, is both irrefutable and yet indefensible in the same manner.Wikipedia
