What gets me here is the seeming lack of awareness of: that as soon as anyone contemplates 'an entity' or 'nature', or 'nothingness', what is guaranteed is that we will all see, will be products of the mind doing the contemplation! This is plainly obvious.
These philosophers, (at least all of those I've read up on), never seem to recognise that they are using concepts of: 'an entity' or 'nature', or 'nothingness', and that those concepts are produced by their (or someone else's) human mind. I mean those concepts weren't just sorta floatin' around in some sort of ethereal Ether, waiting for their (or their ancestors') minds to just grab and instantly understand them, yet, this is exactly what their true posits imply! .. That is a truly miraculous method!
At least scientists leave behind objective evidence of 'the how' of they come up with what they mean when they refer to, say: 'nothing' .. (Its clearly a 'something', which they freely admit to, and leave an audit trail behind them, so that others can follow what they mean by that term).
Because philosophers haven't seen their own fundamentally flawed arguments, (eg: 'nothing has no nature and is just a concept that denotes a negation', without noticing that they even use term 'concept' there), we are left with no choice other than to accept their miraculous way of thinking therefrom!?
Many scientists have remarked, on how curious it is, that the universe so lends itself to our understanding.
We are the only means we know of, by which the universe can literally contemplate it's own existence- and I don't think this is all a coincidence. As a book written in English is intended to be understood by English speakers- nature leaves us a trail that we can follow- ultimately to it's source.
