20.500.12556/RUL-178262 無: Paradox and Emptiness 無: paradoks in praznina Nothingness is a tantalizing concept. It appears in the thinking of many major philosophers—East and West—where it plays a profound role in their thinking concerning the nature of the world (that is, the beings that constitute it). However, nothingness is implicated in contradiction and paradox right from the start. It is something and, well, nothing. This essay has three themes. The first is the role of nothingness in Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy. The second is the paradoxical nature of nothingness. The third is a mereological account of the nature of nothingness which does justice to the paradox. Though the themes are distinct, they are interconnected in important ways, as the essay will show. Nič je mamljiv koncept. Pojavlja se v mišljenju mnogih pomembnih filozofinj ter filozofov – tako Vzhoda kot Zahoda – in sicer igra pomembno vlogo v njihovih razmišljanjih o naravi sveta (torej bitij, ki ga sestavljajo). Vendar je nič že od samega začetka vpet v protislovje in paradoks. Je nekaj in hkrati – nič. Ta esej ima tri teme. Prva je vloga niča v budistični filozofiji mahāyāna. Druga je paradoksna narava niča. Tretja tema je mereološki opis narave niča, ki ustrezno prikaže paradoks. Četudi gre za različne teme, so med seboj povezane v pomembnih vidikih, kakor bo razvidno iz eseja.
