摘要

An empty world can be seen as the opposite of the trivial world. This chapter demonstrates that: (a) the empty world should not be conflated with the trivial world, and (b) the empty world is as useful in philosophical analysis as any other possible or impossible world. In particular, the empty world serves to understand nothingness.
