Abstract

Scientists often feel uncomfortable when confronted with nothingness. This discomfort also applies to the subject, who has found a creative escape through language, only to repeatedly encounter this nothingness again. Scientists seek to objectify this nothingness, but object and subject remain fundamentally opposed, making their integration challenging.
