Analyse de l'interpretation quasi-theologique et ontologique du theoreme de P. Halmos selon lequel rien ne contient rien et l'univers n'existe pas («Naive set theory», 1960). L'A. montre que les nouvelles mathematiques issues de la theorie des ensembles menacent les ultimes vestiges du monotheisme illustres par la these du pantheisme minimal, doctrine affirmant qu'il existe quelque chose comme la totalite de ce qui existe
