Do Nihilists ever starve to death?


From just not eating anymore?

>> No.4473174

I'm sure a nihilist has starved before - whether it was because of philosophical doctrine, I'm not sure.

I don't think you know what nihilism means.

It's always people who believe in things who just stop eating, see hunger strikers in Ireland and gitmo.

This. Suicide by starvation is almost always for religious or political motives.

You should read Bartleby the Scrivener though. Short story to be found on gutenberg.
