He's not nothing, though. He got chewed up by bugs and rot to the earth, and now the earth and the bugs hold him.

Another anon misunderstands Parmenides. "Nothing" can be predicated of "is-ness" and is thus something and therefore not nothing at all.

>That the statement '"Nothing" can be predicated of "is-ness" and is thus something and therefore not nothing at all' is true presupposes that it has meaning
>if it is true, then nothing is not nothing
>by the law of identity, it is a contradiction
>therefore that which was presupposed is false
>therefore the statement has no meaning

We do not refer to nothing directly. We can only address the notion of nothing, for we can say only what we know. "Nothing", to be meaningful, must possess its qualities within the meaning, but nothing has no qualities. Therefore we refer only to a "shadow" of nothing
