N. talks a lot about nihilism and mentions the 'will to nothingness'. I more or less know what Nihilism is but I decided to look it up on Wikepedia. It said that Nihilists generally assert most of the following:
- There is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator
- a "true morality" does not exist
- secular ethics are impossible
I think that this way of thinking wouldnt be so hopeless if you cut out the last part. I think that N. might agree because the last problem traps people into having only two options. a) believe in a higher power b)no higher power, no ethics, no meaning.
The true morality bit I don't think is that desperate of a problem, because subjective, relative morality could work just as well.
