Is it possible for reality as a whole to be part of itself? Can the
world appear within itself without thereby undermining the
consistency of our thought and knowledge-claims concerning more
local matters of fact? This is a question on which Markus Gabriel
and Graham Priest disagree. Gabriel argues that the world cannot
exist precisely because it is understood to be an absolutely
totality. Priest responds by developing a special form of mereology
according to which reality is a single all-encompassing whole,
everything, which counts itself among its denizens. Their
disagreement results in a debate about everything and nothing:
Gabriel argues that we experience nothingness once we overcome our
urge to contain reality in an all-encompassing thought, whereas
Priest develops an account of nothing according to which it is the
ground of absolutely everything. A debate about everything and
nothing, but also a reflection on the very possibility of
metaphysics.
