What if nihilism is committed to untenable descriptive (metaphysical and empirical) claims about human agency, and what about the deleterious impact of its distinctive lack of norms and values on the flourishing of the highest types of human beings?

Your move, Nietzscheans.

How are

>norms and values

not just as untenable?

I reject the claim that Nietzsche was a nihilist.

Your move, faggots.

So guys, what's the best way to pronounce nihilism: the Latin way, or the modern English one?

>> No.3376916

>>3376907

Which one pronounces the "nih" the same way as in "annihilate"?

>> No.3376919

>>3376916
English. The Latin way to pronounce it would be nee heel ism

>> No.3376926

>>3376919

Ah, so that's why Latin is a dead language: they pronounce like pussies.

>> No.3376972

Read this first, OP, then come back and ask.

Just stuck my head in to say, if you're the same anon who keeps using that Frodo pic: I like you.

So you're saying the eagles didn't just fly them to Mordor because they saw the essential futility and meaningless of all hobbit endeavors in the face of forces they could not control, and the irrationality of foisting a subjective interpretation of events on what was essentially an inevitable trend in social behavior?
