None (philosophy)

In philosophy, "None" refers to the concept of non-existence or the absence of anything. It questions what it means for something to be "nothing"—whether it's absolute emptiness, a lack of presence, or a state beyond being or non-being. Philosophers explore whether "nothing" can truly exist or if it’s simply a way to describe the absence of something. The idea helps us understand existence, reality, and the boundaries of being, prompting questions like: Can "nothing" be considered a real thing? How does "nothing" relate to the concept of existence itself?
