Synopsis "Nothing in Particular"

Nothing in Particular is about nothing(ness), a highly vexed notion, quickly leading to contradiction: that it is both something and nothing. Graham Priest argues that nothingness is a dialetheic object, both something and nothing-- "the paradox of nothing". Priest defines nothingness as the fusion of no things and this definition is equivalent to being the mereological complement (that is, the absence) of everything. He argues that, in virtue of not being an object, nothing is ineffable-but in a paradoxical way, since it is effable too. He also argues that, in a sense made clear in the book, nothing is the ground of reality. To be an object is to "rise above" nothing. Along the way, Nothing in Particular discusses aspects of: noneism, absences, intentionality, paradoxes of self-reference, metaphysical dependence, gluon theory, and identity and relates all these matters to the philosophies of Wang Bi (Daoism), Meister Eckhart (God), Hegel (dialectic), Sartre (freedom), Heidegger (being and nothing), and Nishida (basho and absolute nothingness). The book addresses a historically important and central area of metaphysics-nothingness-using the tools of contemporary logic and mereology, to produce a highly novel account of the subject that will be of interest to a wide range of philosophers.
