Yes, "nothing" = "nic", "nothingness" = "nicość".

Kandel was simply standing on the shoulders of Lem, as Lem delivered him rough translations to English with running commentary (e.g. Awruk = Tickuff).
If Kandel were honest, he should write "translated by Stanisław Lem with assistance of Michael Kandel".
