What is rashly called a ‘city’ does not exist. It does not exist because things do not exist as entities delimited in space. Contrary to what human unconscious ontology ‘believes’, a cat on a carpet, or a carpet under a cat, does not exist in itself: the ‘substances’ cat and carpet do not exist. More simply, things do not exist. When thinking about the ‘city’ — bearing in mind that ‘city’ is first and foremost a name — emphasis should be placed on the often-forgotten fact that the very question of the city would not exist if nobody thought about the city starting from the name ‘city’ — whatever this ‘thing’ that is called ‘city’ may be (one could say that Homo sapiens is such an oversight). Therefore, there is a deep connection, a metaphysical connection — and metaphysics invades both thought and action because individuals are unaware of its invasiveness — between the name ‘city’ and that complicated thing full of people, animals, cars, trees, buildings, and other elements that one generally refers to by that name. Once again, it is not true that it is facts, rather than words, that count, as it is words that make one believe that the corresponding facts exist.
