From Myth to Inquiry: Seeking Existence Explained

Philosophical inquiry into why there is something rather than nothing has a rich history, beginning with ancient creation myths aimed at understanding the universe's origins. As science emerged, explanations shifted from mythological narratives to impersonal laws of physics and equations. While these modern frameworks provide insights into the mechanics of the universe, the fundamental question of existence remains unresolved. Historically, Gottfried Leibniz contributed significantly to this discourse, framing it as the 'primordial existential question' and emphasizing the ongoing debate and varied opinions surrounding it.
