Derived from the [[Latin]] [[words]] ''solus'' ('only') and ''ipse'' ('[[self]]'), the term is sometimes used as a synonym for 'selfishness' or 'egotism'.
In [[philosophy]] it is used more strictly to describe the [[thesis]] that only the self [[exists]].
All philosophies that, like the [[Cartesian]] ''[[cogito]]'' ('I am [[thinking]], therefore I am')<ref>1637</ref>, take as their starting-point the immediate [[experience]] of an [[individual]] [[consciousness]] tends to lapse into [[solipsism]] as they have difficulty in establishing the [[existence]] of [[other]] [[consciousness]]es.
Both [[Husserl]]'s pure [[phenomenology]] and the [[existentialism]] of the early [[Sartre]] have been criticized for their alleged [[solipsism]].
