Finally, you say: if Nothing can be conceived by the mind, than it's something (something conceived by your mind), which is paradoxal. But to me to say that something can be conceived by the mind is to say that we have a concept of that thing. So we you ask me if nothing is conceivable, it's like if you are asking "Can we form a concept of Nothing?". The answer is yes. Does it mean that Nothing is Something? No. The concept of Nothing is something. Nothing is just nothing, as the concept say. — L'Unico
"Is Nothing that which can be conceived by the mind?"
This proposition is equivalent to:
"Do we have a concept of Nothing?" — L'Unico
But if you take the first literally than it's not equivalent to the second. — L'Unico
Well, I'm sorry we didn't find an agreement. I hope the other readers will find out who is playing with words and who is not. : ) — L'Unico
