Can the world appear within itself without thereby undermining the consistency of our thought and knowledge-claims concerning more local matters of fact?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a question on which Markus Gabriel and Graham Priest disagree. Gabriel argues that the world cannot exist precisely because it is understood to be an absolutely totality. Priest responds by developing a special form of mereology according to which reality is a single all-encompassing whole, everything, which counts itself among its denizens.  Their disagreement results in a debate about everything and nothing: Gabriel argues that we experience nothingness once we overcome our urge to contain reality in an all-encompassing thought, whereas Priest develops an account of nothing according to which it is the ground of absolutely everything.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA debate about everything and nothing, but also a reflection on the very possibility of metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203015205015,"sku":"9781509537464","price":4284.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509537464.webp?v=1769208245","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/everything-and-nothing-9781509537464","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
