In metaphysics, Metaphysical Solipsism is the variety of idealism which asserts that nothing exists externally to this one mind, and since this mind is the whole of reality then the “external world” was never anything more than an idea. It can also be expressed by the assertion “there is nothing external to these present experiences”, in other words, no reality exists beyond whatever is presently being cognized by that one mind. The aforementioned definition of solipsism entails the non‐existence of anything presently unperceived including the external world, causation, other minds (including God's mind or a subconscious mind), the past or future, and a subject of experience. Despite their ontological non‐existence, these entities may nonetheless be said to “exist” as useful descriptions of the various experiences and thoughts that constitute 'this' mind.
