Philosophy cartoon
Cartoon about consciousness and solipsism
A cartoon showing a man inside a thought bubble (or thought balloon). The illustration is about the concept that through consciousness man is aware of himself. This man in some ways ‘thinks himself into existence’
A cartoon about self awareness, Descartes saying “I thing therefore I am” or “Cogito ergo sum”, cognition, philosophy, philosophical thought.
The cartoon is about solipsism – the philosophical concept that the mind can only be aware of its own existence and not the existence of anything else. Solipsism is an epistemological position that holds that the external world cannot be known, and that other minds cannot be known, and that such things might not exist outside the mind that is thinking about them
