The Logic of Nothing

About this episode

When people talk about nothing, what are they really talking about? How can you talk about nothing - unless nothing is actually something?

Many Eastern philosophies (Buddhism, in particular) believe that nothing is something, and a few Western philosophies do as well. But they are mistaken.

If we value a rational and logically consistent worldview, we have to understand exactly what nothing is - or more precisely, what it isn't.
