The Void and Emptiness Site. "Biografía del vacío"

 
This book by Albert Ribas, whose subtitle is "Its philosophical and scientific history from Antiquity to Modern Age", tries to be an exhaustive work on void and emptiness. It covers diverse ages and different scopes, although it is focused in the philosophical and scientific aspects. For centuries the existence of void or emptiness and the consistency of the concept itself were discussed. The Western thought has much difficulty in admitting it. That aversion was called "horror vacui".
