WHY THERE IS SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2016
Abstract
The answer to the question of why there is Something rather than Nothing is that there has to be Something and that Nothing is impossible. There cannot not be Something so there cannot be Nothing. The paper justifies this conclusion, while also explaining why we might believe there may be Nothing. In the course of this, the so-called subtraction-argument is shown to be inadequate and question-begging.
