Nihilism

The view that life, the universe, or the moral order has no intrinsic meaning, purpose, or value. As a philosophical position it can be metaphysical (nothing really exists), epistemological (nothing can really be known), or — most commonly in modern usage — moral and existential (there is no objective good, no cosmic point to human striving). Nihilism is most famously associated with Nietzsche, who diagnosed it as the inevitable cultural consequence of the "death of God" and treated it not as a doctrine to be endorsed but as a crisis to be overcome. Twentieth-century existentialism and absurdism are largely responses to the threat of nihilism — attempts to construct meaning, or to live well, in a universe that supplies neither.
