Byung-Chul Han contrasts Western philosophy's focus on essence with Far Eastern thought's emphasis on absence, or 'the way' (dao). He examines how this distinction influences aesthetics, architecture, and art, revealing a culture of absence that may seem unfamiliar to those rooted in Western thinking.
