METAPHYSICAL SOLIPSISM

Metaphysical solipsism is a variety of solipsism based on a philosophy of subjective idealism. It maintains that the self is the only existing reality and that other realities, including the external world and other persons, are representations of that self, having no independent existence. It goes beyond skepticism by outright denying any reality beyond one's own mental states. There are no physical objects, other minds, or observable phenomenon independent of one's own perceptions and conceptions. Everything aside from one's solitary consciousness is deemed to be non-existent.
