The Concept of Solipsism

According to the philosophy of solipsism, a person


solely acknowledges their own mind as the one
reality that is constantly present and accessible. The
Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain illustrates the
central thesis of solipsism: "There is no God, no
cosmos, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven,
no hell. Everything is just a dream, a hideous and
silly dream. There is nothing except you. And You
are only a Thought, a homeless, useless, and
wandering Thought that is lost in the void of
eternity.
