The talking silence. Ruminations on the place of nothing in philosophy, art and science

Abstract

The objective of the following lines will be centered on demonstrating the place that nothingness has occupied, through its analogies, in the world of science and art. Among other things, the intention held by this study is to point out that knowledge is not only centered on the tangible or on things that are; rather, that it requires, just like art, the notion of a reality not centered on the being. Nothingness is, therefore, as a container of infinite possibilities, the source of the materialization of scientific findings and works of art. Some historical findings of nothingness in Greek philosophy, science, art and silence will be boarded.
