Ancient Greek philosophers and theologians debated the concept of zero and the meaning of nothingness. To them, zero may have been undefined.
Contemporary mathematicians do not enter into such debates in their roles as mathematicians (which is not to say that some of them may not have night jobs as philisophers or theologians). To mathematicians, zero is very well defined and an important element of mathematics.
