A axiom in mathematics is called a non-derived basic rate, that is, a statement obtained as may accept, but never - can prove - within the appropriate theoretical construct. Axioms are unquestioned foundations on which is based the rest of the theory. There are three such "beliefs" but it also in our everyday life (he) live - three things you can only guess (more or less reason), but can not verify. Three things pretty basic one at that.
first There is a world outside of our own consciousness

This is the basic message, the doubts of the philosophical approach of the solipsism. Strange as it may sound, all experienced what is and what is not only the mere awareness of their own, all the beautiful colorful wide world out there might as well be my imagination, a film, computer game, a matrix within my mind without any real tangible content. The human body itself could be a chimera, which dazzled us our brain, and even the existence of the brain would then doubtful. "I think therefore I am" is so used a little too far. "I think therefore it is my consciousness" is the (slightly circular) statement that you can take a maximum of security.
second I am a constant existing since birth being
we now loosening the skepticism a bit and allow it an objectively tangible world are around us. Then there is still no guarantee that I am as old as it says in my passport. Every night I lose namely 8-hour awareness and gain it back - or ..? Strange as it sounds, but one can not rule out that I was born this morning in its current form or otherwise as was created, with the final memories of the last decades. Or that you yesterday's "me" killed, cloned, and the fresh "copy", which I am now, with the experiences of my life "vaccinated" has. One lives for themselves nailed down provable through only as long as one does not fall into deep sleep. After that life begins at the beginning - maybe as the same person, maybe not that one was yesterday.
third You see the color red just as I see it.
we let yet another room and now assume that there is the world outside of consciousness, and it was so long in life, as we think we remember. This is not to say that I qualia, the subjective experience of content of a mental state, just like you experience. For me, for example, the color red to look like for you green, and we will always consider both, we speak of the same color, namely, the top of the traffic lights. You can tell a thousand people a color-blind, as the wavelength and other physical properties of the color red are - he'll understand, but just do not. The phenomenon of qualia is something highly subjective and untestable from the outside. In that regard, the end of each turn is trapped within themselves.
sown doubts? As Voltaire said, doubt is not pleasant, but certainty is absurd.
