Preferred term

nihilism  

Definition(s)

  • Nihilism has always been a term of abuse. Almost no one in the history of philosophy claims the title of nihilist for his- or herself; rather, from the first use of the term in philosophical disputes of the eighteenth century, nihilism has been a charge by one school of thinkers against another. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Nihilism]
