Abstract

The philosophy of nothing, as might be expected, has a checkered career. Plato set the visible over against the intelligible and, becoming enamored of the latter, lumped everyday experience together into so much nothing. Aristotle, rightly regarding everyday experience as somehow being of something, made being into particulars, but left the matter of which they are made virtually nothing.
