The actual, authentic, true mode of origination of human action is consciousness; which proceeds via the double nihilation, wherein consciousness, on the one hand, makes the nothing that is an imagined future state which it wants to be; and, on the other hand, makes the present state nothing by transcending that state toward the not yet existing future which it wants. — quintillus
Here we are speaking of freedom, which, ultimately, is consciousness.Surely the future cannot be nothing in any absolute sense, because the future is what forces the human being to act.

So the future must be something very real, therefore not nothing. — Metaphysician Undercover
