Nothing in Particular

"This book is about nothing. You might think that that would make it a very short book. For nothing is to be said of nothing. That would, however, be selling the matter short. There is much to be said of nothing; and much that is important-indeed, profound. So I aim to show. Much in the book is contentious; but contention is a mark of philosophical substance. And I hope to persuade the reader, at least, that they are seeing the tip of this philosophical iceberg"-- Provided by publisher.
