Van Den Bergh (crater)
Van den Bergh is an eroded lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies just to the east of the larger crater Cockcroft. To the north is Evershed.
Since its formation, this crater has been heavily worn by subsequent impacts until its features have become softened and rounded. The satellite crater Van den Bergh M lies across the southern rim, and there is a depression from an old impact in the northwestern part of the interior floor. Several small craterlets lie along the rim to the east and west. This crater lies within the path of the ray system from the crater Jackson to the south-southwest.

“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
