Spoiler alert: treating nothing as if it were a thing gets you into contradictions.
We had Graham Priest in the Unity Seminar today talking about 'The Paradox at the Boundary of Everything'.
Ah yes, reminds me of the "Metaphysical" section of the bookstore.
I was really pleased to find my local library has a "Philosophy" section. Less pleased to see the three subsections: "Angels", "Ghosts" and "Astrology".
Great to see this coming out in print! My contribution is the final chapter, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I develop a new theory of omnipresence, compatible with doctrines of divine simplicity and (virtually) all mereological harmony principles.
