Wittgenstein ; AnscombeA person is a solipsist if he thinks that he is the only I, and the world, with everything and everyone in it, is an object of experience, and therefore his own experience. In *Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus*, Ludwig Wittgenstein offers a glimpse of his solipsism in propositions 5.6 to 5.63. In proposition 5.62, he says: This remark provides a key to the question, to what extent solipsism is a truth. In fact what solipsism *means*, is quite correct, only it cannot be said, but it shows itself. That the world is *my* world, shows itself in the fact that th... more »
