Revaluating Nihilism

Tartaglia, James; Llanera, Tracy

Abstract

The conclusion summarises the implications of the book. Nihilism has been misunderstood. When understood as the view that there is no meaning of life, it is a view that needs to be reclaimed, because the idea of the meaning of life is not helpful within a secular context. Misunderstanding of nihilism perpetuates thinking guided by the meaning of life idea.
