Are there any accounts of "emptiness", preferably purely phenomenological/methodological, that don't presume a contentious metaphysics?

Some of the meanings-in-use of “emptiness” are pretty clearly wrong; many are too vague or self-contradictory to do much work for us. Others might be importantly functional, but they’re hard to separate from their history of use and apply in a different context.

I avoid “emptiness,” and use the word “nebulosity” as a coined alternative, in order to point at a more-specific thing, which is one I think is important, and which is at least in the penumbra of some senses of “emptiness” in the literature.
