The author in this brief outline addresses the meaning of emptiness in a spiritual research, through oriental philosophies (Taoism and Buddhism) and physical science as a premise to try to comprehend its nature and its presence in the analytical experience, where conceptual, experiential and ethical meanings connect. Analyzing some of the insights proposed by Jung, Winnicott, Green, Bion, it becomes apparent emptiness covers a significant moral role in the clinic and vision of the psyche. A clinical fragment and a dream conclude this short itinerary, which suggests the analyst practice the emptiness as a conceptual and experiential resource.
