Thought: between Scylla (being) and Charybdis (nothing)

Abstract

The paper explores the philosophical argumentation of the Sophist Gorgias of Leontius. The article is a logical and thematic continuation of the experience started in the work “Back to Gorgius”. A thought experiment with the “philosophical zombie” is reproduced. The author defines the concepts “non-existent”, “non-existence”, “nothing”. For the first time, the concept of consciousness was put forward, allowing for a plurality of subjects within the borders of one person.
