Reviews

Solipsism, the idea that my self is the only thing that exists while everything else is a product of my mind, belongs among the most radical and most curious philosophical positions. Nonetheless, Sami Pihlstroem lucidly and convincingly argues that solipsism is in fact extraordinarily relevant to our ethical choices. His superb book compels us to seriously rethink fundamental existential issues. * Leszek Koczanowicz, Professor of Philosophy and Psychology, SWPS University, Poland *
