What blew my mind was the fact that Eco bases his investigation on a simple question, following Leibniz : "why is there more of something than nothing?" - implying that it is really more comfortable about life being dominated by the fact that there is nothing, than by the fact that there is evidently something. This without even entering the "God" question, which is irrelevant anyway because the idea of God is also the idea of Being (just as Self). He even jokes about it, saying that one man once was asked if he believed in God and he replied: "No, I believe in something much greater."
