solipsism
Significado: The philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist, and that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is uncertain or impossible.
Solipsism is an extreme form of scepticism rarely held as a genuine philosophical position, but it serves as an important thought experiment in epistemology. In everyday usage, 'solipsistic' is used pejoratively to describe someone excessively self-centred or unable to recognise perspectives beyond their own. The problem of other minds — how we can know that other people have consciousness — is closely related to solipsistic concerns.
Ejemplos
- The philosopher used solipsism as a thought experiment to test the limits of what can be known with certainty. 这位哲学家将唯我论作为一种思想实验,用以检验确定性认知的极限。El filósofo utilizó el solipsismo como un experimento mental para poner a prueba los límites de lo que puede conocerse con certeza.その哲学者は確実に知ることができるものの限界を試すための思考実験として独我論を用いました。그 철학자는 확실하게 알 수 있는 것의 한계를 시험하기 위한 사고 실험으로서 유아론을 사용하였다.
- His solipsism made it impossible for him to consider that others might have valid perspectives on the matter. 他的唯我论态度使他无法考虑他人可能对此事持有有效的观点。Su solipsismo le impedía considerar que otros pudieran tener perspectivas válidas sobre el asunto.彼の独我論的な態度は、他者がその問題について妥当な見方を持っているかもしれないということを考慮することを不可能にしました。그의 유아론적 태도는 다른 사람들이 그 문제에 대해 타당한 관점을 가질 수 있다는 것을 고려하는 것을 불가능하게 만들었다.
- While no serious philosopher advocates pure solipsism, it highlights genuine difficulties in proving the existence of the external world. 虽然没有严肃的哲学家主张纯粹的唯我论,但它揭示了证明外部世界存在的真正困难。Aunque ningún filósofo serio defiende el solipsismo puro, este pone de relieve auténticas dificultades para demostrar la existencia del mundo exterior.純粋な独我論を主張する真剣な哲学者はいませんが、それは外界の存在を証明することの真の困難さを浮き彫りにしています。순수한 유아론을 주장하는 진지한 철학자는 없지만, 그것은 외부 세계의 존재를 증명하는 것의 진정한 어려움을 부각시킨다.
