Two Sides of the Nihilistic Coin

by Bert Olivier

“In my previous post, it will be recalled, I wrote about the emergence of the condition known as ‘nihilism’ in modern culture and society – one characterised by an awareness that things, relationships, institutions, and so on, lack the self-evident value and meaning they once unquestionably seemed to have. This sketched in the backdrop of what will be my eventual focus, to wit, the ‘cynical nihilism’ that has made a noticeable appearance since 2020. But before one can get there, what has to be added are some important distinctions on the spectrum of nihilism.” (06/16/24)
