    Hi

    I have a question:
    Do you know any definitions of everything? You can give your own or you know by some philosopher. Is that what it was, what is it, what will it be and what could it be? Or maybe it's something else?

    Definitions aren't the specialty of philosophy. For definitions, you should turn to a lexicographer.

    If philosophy has taught me anything, it's that not everything that looks like a question and feels like a question and seems like a question is actually a question. I know you aren't asking for a link to merriam-webster.com, so what is it really that you think you're asking for? What are you trying to determine?

    I think "everything" doesn't have a logical definition. Like in mathematics you can define "everything" within a system with the equation x=x (at least in first order systems). But there will always be objects outside the system.
