Solipsism
Solipsism (; ) 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 of the mind. As a
metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist.

About
solipsism
The view that all we know is our own consciousness and we cannot be sure that anything exists outside of our own minds. In other words, we might be just imagining that each other, the chairs we sit in, the tea we drink, is real.
