NOTHING
BY PROFESSOR ssPooFER

The subject Of this article is Moth
ing. The idea is not by any means
original with me. Many people have
excellent ideas abOut Nothing. The
=, eat philosopher Immanue' Kant de
scfibed four different kinds Of Moth
ing. Henri Bergson, In his Creative
l'yolutim," devotes % pages to the
subject Of Nothing. This sVes to show
TINT Nothing is not new thing. in
spite OF the common saying that Moth
ing Is new under the sun. The fact Is
that Nothing Is not new, neither under
the sun nor above It. When old Nero
jumped on his sword he said, "Here
goes Nothing and nobody contradict.
I'd him. You couldn't contradict that
guy with impunlty anyway. And Moth.
ing has persisted in its myriad forms
ever since But what is Nothing any
way? Nothing Is usually defined as
the absence OF Something. But any
thing that admits OF a definition must
be something, otherwise it could not
be defined. Therefore Nothing Is
Something. Henry Bergson says that
there is no such thing as Nothing. and
that there is really nothing to Il.
Therefore Nothing is nothing. He says
