WORD OF THE DAY:

Solipsism 

/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/

from Latin solus, meaning ‘alone’, and ipse, meaning ‘self’

Solipsism 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.
