| Nov 19, 2017 at 12:34 | comment | added | user20253 | I would say that Solipsism is unfalsifiable for a reason, this being that it is not strictly false and the Universe is a Unity. For his view the relationship of the world to the to the self has to take account also of the Self. I don't think this can be explained without a lot of words but it is the perennial view so there are a lot of words available. It's not easy to see why Solipsism should be unfalsifiable if it is false. . | |

Trying to answer the question directly.. I was thinking something entirely different before

| Nov 18, 2017 at 16:57 | comment | added | user66136 | @Conifold In the spirit of discussion, Can I ask your opinion about how solipsism views the world if it is only consisting of figments? I mean does it relate the world and mind using an argument similar along the lines of plausibe deniability | |
| Nov 17, 2017 at 22:39 | comment | added | user66136 | I don't see your point. | |
| Nov 17, 2017 at 22:08 | comment | added | Conifold | I do not need to know. I do not see any logical connection between the two, and I am not aware of a plausible argument to that effect. | |
| Nov 17, 2017 at 22:06 | comment | added | user66136 | How do you know that "mere absence of the external world does not bring about complete control over one's own self."? By the definition of solipism you can't. I care about the Earth because it is my home. | |
| Nov 17, 2017 at 20:57 | comment | added | Conifold | If solipsism is true why care about the Earth? It is after all just a figment. And solipsism does not entail that one can do anything one wants, mere absence of the external world does not bring about complete control over one's own self. | |
