Nothingness as Paradoxical Object
- Nothing can be both an absence and a presence simultaneously, creating a paradoxical contradiction.
- Nothingness is unique as it is talked about as a thing despite being an absence of things.
Metaphysics of Holes
- Holes challenge metaphysics because they are absent matter yet have properties like size and shape.
- Thinking of a hole as just the surrounding edges causes contradictions, like how thick the lining of a hole should be.
Holes and Their Surroundings
- Holes depend on their surrounding entities for their identity, and vice versa.
- Some things lose their identity without holes, like sieves and golf courses.
