World without mind
To doubt the existence of a world that is independent of the mind misses the point. Of course the mind brings the world into being, just as the world brings the mind into being: the case for a clear distinction between mind and world seems dubious. But it makes no sense to wonder about whether the world exists or does not exist without being perceived by a mind. 'It' neither does nor does not exist: categories such as 'existence' don't apply.
