Concept in Definition ABC

The one of nothing is a term that we usually use in our language to indicate the total absence of a being or a thing, that is, nothing would be the opposite of being.

In the language everyday we use it to express the little importance or the little quantity that has some question or situation.

But the one indicated is not the only use we give it in our ordinary conversations, the word nothing is used in many other situations or contexts to express: the little effort with which something was achieved (Laura made a meal for twenty people as if nothing had happened); in no way (I don't believe anything Juan told me, he lies to me); when something that is done does not cause any result (I have been telling him that that door is about to break and he acts as if nothing had happened).

There are also a huge number of expressions that contain the term nothing and that we use habitually, such is the case of: nothing more (it allows us to express only: serve me an empanada, nothing more),

nothing less (We use it when we want to highlight the importance of someone or something: Juan was introduced by the president of the association nothing less), no problem (is the answer of courtesy most used in our language when someone thanks us for something) and like nothing (when something is not attributed any importance).

Meanwhile, in the field ofphilosophy, that of nothing is a concept that is very present and that has been approached from different perspectives and by different philosophical currents.

Thus, philosophers like Hegel or Sartre held that nothingness is a concrete thing with all properties that this supposes, also the buddhism ha considered as the state that is characterized by presenting a mind empty, or the Greek philosopher Parmenides who is attributed the expressionnothing comes out of nowhere, which implies a beginning metaphysical that indicates that no entity can exist from a nothing.
