Abstract

The vacuum has been little thought of in the West; or rather, Western philosophy has thought little about the vacuum as a possibility of cognitive and ethical openness to reality. Another way of saying the above is that when the West thinks about emptiness, the phantom of nihilism breaks out. Now Well, the present text will not discuss these claims widely,
they are rather a provocation for the reader as well as an invitation to think a little about emptiness in the thought of the Far East, specifically in the Zen tradition
