- Nihilism (; {{</ref> Contemporary understanding of the idea stems largely from the Nietzschean 'crisis of nihilism', from which derive the two central concepts: the destruction of higher values and the opposition to the affirmation of life. [1] Earlier forms of nihilism, however, may be more selective in negating specific hegemonies of social, moral, political and aesthetic thought. The term is sometimes used in association with anomie to explain the general mood of despair at a perceived pointlessness of existence or arbitrariness of human principles and social institutions. Nihilism has also been described as conspicuous in or constitutive of certain historical periods. For example, [2] Jean Baudrillard [3] [4] and others have characterized postmodernity as a nihilistic epoch [5] or mode of thought. [6] Likewise, some theologians and religious figures have stated that postmodernity and many aspects of modernity represent nihilism by a negation of religious principles. Nihilism has, however, been widely ascribed to both religious and irreligious viewpoints.[7] In popular use, the term commonly refers to forms of existential nihilism, according to which life is without intrinsic value, meaning, or purpose. [8] Other prominent positions within nihilism include the rejection of all normative and ethical views (), the rejection of all social and political institutions (), the stance that no knowledge can or does exist (), and a number of metaphysical positions, which assert that non-abstract objects do not exist (), that composite objects do not exist (), or even that life itself does not exist.
