Emo Philips: “I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me that.”
Solipsism states that the mind alone is the creator of an individual’s reality. From what I can understand from the reading Glaserfeld rejects solipsism since “in the case of concepts, theories, beliefs, and other more abstract structures, the facts a subject has found to be viable gain a higher degree of viability when successful predictions can be made by imputing the use of these facts to Others.” Glasersfeld (1989).
