'''Subjective [[idealism]]''', or '''empirical idealism''' or '''immaterialism''', is a form of [[Monism|philosophical monism]] that holds that only minds and mental contents exist. It [[logical consequence|entails]] and is generally identified or associated with [[wikt:immaterialism|immaterialism]], the doctrine that material things do not exist. Subjective idealism rejects [[dualism (philosophy of mind)|dualism]], [[neutral monism]], and [[materialism]]; it is the contrary of [[eliminative materialism]], the doctrine that all or some classes of [[mind|mental]] [[phenomena]] (such as emotions, beliefs, or desires) do not exist, but are sheer [[illusion]]s.
