What is Existence?
This is a question that no one can answer. We know what existence is, sort of. At least I think we do. But we know it in a purely intuitive way, not in a way that allows us to define it. Any definitions of existence have to use existence (perhaps reworded) in the definition, and end up being circular.
They say Descartes was a sceptic. But when he questioned whether anything existed, and when he then said "I think, therefore I am", he was not questioning the existence of existence itself.
The existence of existence itself. Now that is circular.
