The Void is the philosophical concept of nothingness manifested. The notion of the Void is relevant to several realms of metaphysics.
The manifestation/obtaining of nothingness is closely associated with the contemplation of emptiness, and with human attempts to identify and personify it. As such, the concept of the Void, and ideas similar to it, have a significant and historically evolving presence in artistic[1] and creative expression, as well as in academic, scientific and philosophical debate surrounding the nature of the human condition.
In Western mystical traditions, it was often argued that the transcendent 'Ground of Being' could therefore be approached through aphairesis, a form of negation.[2]
