being and nothingness
Being and nothingness are philosophical concepts that are often intertwined in existentialist thinking. Being refers to existence, presence, or essence, while nothingness refers to non-being, absence, or emptiness. In existential philosophy, the relationship between being and nothingness is a central theme, as individuals grapple with questions of existence, purpose, and meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. The concept highlights the tension between our desire for significance and the ultimate insignificance of our existence in the grand scheme of things.
