Just read it you dumb fucker. You're like someone holding a spoonful of food up their mouth going "but how does it taste? what if it's bad? should i get a spoonful of something else?"

Just put the fucking spoon in your mouth, and shut the fuck up. What are you going to lose from reading ONE book?

No, you misunderstood the point. I am looking for books/philosophers that expound specifically upon the philosophy of Nihilism. Schopenhauer is involved only in so far as I am attempting to ascertain if he would qualify as a Nihilist.

I am looking for a list of books that elaborate Nihilism as a philosophic system. A chart, even. I am not asking whether I should read this specific book or not.

You seem irrationally hostile.

On the contrary, I believe it is the most rational and scientifically backed philosophy available. For a long time modern physics has been tacitly admitting more and more Nihilistic truths and this makes sense since almost all modern science inadvertently takes Nihilism as its crux.

Nihilism is also something that was known to the ancients and was a doctrine that was not taught until you were in the higher levels of the Mystery cults (see the myth of Silenus etc).

Nihilism is what you are left with when you strip everything down and I am curious if there is a good modern thinker (~the last 200 years or so) who extrapolated this concept into a rigorous theory. Ultimately, as we continue to make more and more advancements through science, we will be faced more and more with the necessity of Nihilism.
