Description

Explore the complex nature of negative metaphysics with Absence and Nothing: The Philosophy of What There is Not from Oxford University Press. This philosophical work examines the rising claim that absences can act as causes, possess properties, or be perceived as facts. While Parmenides famously argued against the existence of nothing, this text investigates how much of his classical view remains relevant in modern thought. Adopting a soft Parmenidean methodology, the author seeks to reject supposed negative entities while remaining open to accepting them if they prove indispensable to philosophical explanation. This book provides a rigorous investigation into how we refer to and speak about nothing, making it a significant study for those interested in epistemology and the fundamental nature of existence.

Key Features

Examines the tension between Parmenides' classical views and modern claims about negative facts.
