Overview

Nihilism is a philosophical doctrine that questions the existence of objectively meaningful purpose, moral value, truth, or knowledge, spanning ethics, value theory, epistemology, and metaphysics, and is characterized by a negation towards concepts, meaning, or life. This philosophy has been associated with various responses, ranging from indifference and existential crises to transformative reinterpretations of established ideals and a creative embrace of personal meaning-making. Nihilism has been explored in various forms of art and literature, including the works of [[albert-camus|Albert Camus]] and [[samuel-beckett|Samuel Beckett]], and has influenced thinkers such as [[jean-paul-sartre|Jean-Paul Sartre]] and [[martin-heidegger|Martin Heidegger]].
