There is a famous anecdote Sartre (I think it was Sartre) used to explain some philosophical concept. Roughly, he describes a person ordering a coffee without cream. The waiter explains that they don’t have any cream, but they can make a coffee without milk.
What exactly is this analogy alluding to? What is the philosophical idea behind it? Something about negatives or absence?
