In his Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant noted that the understanding intuits nothing. Now, the significance of this insight comes to light. Tristan Burt explains why our intuition of nothing resolves a central philosophical problem: how can we know what is (absolutely) real? The answer to this question is as surprising, and amusing, as reality itself.
