Solipsism and the Problem of Other Minds

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they will be looking into Solipsism and the problem of other minds.

Solipsism in the belief that the only certain knowledge one can have is the existence of their own minds, everything outside of their minds can therefore be doubted. Along with the material world all other minds are brought into doubt. A Solipsist will argue there is no way any other mind can ever be directly perceived or verified and so they have every right to believe they are the only mind that exists. The Solipsist therefore believes they exist alone in reality.

In this video George will be arguing from a Solipsist position whilst John will discuss the flaws with the theory.
