Epistemological solipsism is the variety of [[idealism]] according to which only the directly accessible mental contents of the solipsistic philosopher can be known. The existence of an external world is regarded as an unresolvable question rather than actually false.<ref name="maar">{{cite web|url=http://maartens.home.xs4all.nl/philosophy/Dictionary/S/Solipsism.htm|title=Philosophical Dictionary:Solipsism|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170103023018/https://maartens.home.xs4all.nl/philosophy/Dictionary/S/Solipsism.htm|archive-date=3 January 2017|access-date=8 April 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Further, one cannot also be certain as to what extent the external world exists independently of one's mind. For instance, it may be that a God-like being controls the sensations received by the mind, making it appear as if there is an external world when most of it (excluding the God-like being and oneself) is false. However, the point remains that epistemological solipsists consider this an "unresolvable" question.<ref name="maar"/>
