This paper is placed within the general topic of the "overcoming" of nihilism. It explores a homeopathic path of "overcoming" nihilism; in short: nihil "overcomes" nihilism. Rather than attempt overcoming, or sublimation, or dialectical sublation, nihil (nothing) might change our relation to nihilism. While there is no way out of the nihilist experience of the lack of why, an "original" experience of "nothing" can disclose a different way of dwelling in nihilism. In the first section of this paper, I introduce the problem of nihilism. Focusing on Nietzsche's account of it, I lay the ground and raise the problem that this study of "nothing" aims to answer. How to live without an ultimate why? How to live when we are constantly haunted by the possibility that all what we do is in vain? Not escaping from the lack of why, but rather listening to what this "lack" has to tell us, this paper studies the notion of "nothing." From the second to the sixth section, I work on what is the core of this paper: Martin Heidegger's suggestion of "nothing's" disclosure of the wonder of Being. I focus on Heidegger's early analysis of "nothing" as developed in his 1927 work Being and Time and his 1929 lecture What is Metaphysics? It is Heidegger's particular experience of "nothing"—in which Being itself is disclosed—that can transform our sense of meaninglessness into wonder. Hence, still within nihilism, indeed thanks to it, the readiness to experience "nothing" reveals the fact—without why—that beings are instead of nothing. In sections seven and eight, after having explored the analysis of the complex phenomenon of "nothing," I return to the problem of nihilism outlined in the first section. In section seven, the previous analysis allows to see how Heidegger's specific notion of "nothing" can change our relationship to nihilism. In section eight, I situate the conclusions achieved in this paper in the context of some contemporary discussion about the philosophical notion of wonder.
