Why aren't you a nihilist yet?

Because I'm not 16 anymore.

>> No.6197655

>> No.6197675

Is "nihilism" even a philosophical position? Does it answer any questions? Does a nihilist have any reason to bother writing an essay on such questions? How does a nihilist reconcile his devaluation of states with his ostensibly present choices? Does he act in the world?

These aren't smart-ass questions, unless nihilists are all dumb-asses.

Shut up teenage dweeb, i'm not by any means popular, i'm just stating the truth here.

You´re only making a thread about nihilism because you just heard about it somewhere and that must mean you´re less than 18 years old.

>> No.6197778

>>6197774

Your comment about "fuck-it-ism" or whatever is totally unoriginal and represents a deliberate will to not think more than it represents any thought.

If you can't handle the complexity that exists in our world or in the world of ideas, then don't bother. But barging in just to say "HEY GUYS I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING LOL AND I THINK THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME" is just that- a waste of time. Go along now.

>>Is "nihilism" even a philosophical position?

No, it is a process of dissimilating metaphysical value claims (note: not ethical claims)

>>Does a nihilist have any reason to bother writing an essay on such questions?

see >>6197864

>>How does a nihilist reconcile his devaluation of states with his ostensibly present choices?

I'm not sure what you're asking. A nihilist is a misnomer so there's no subject involved. Nihilism proceeds by examining ontological claims and in annihilating their underlying presumptions. If you gave me an example I could hazard a try

>>Does he act in the world?
We need definitions, son. Since you seem rooted in a post-Kantian worldview, lets assume that you pose the existence of a subject, of an external world, and of an interaction between them that synthesizes the world into the subject. Considering this must proceed from the basis of a distinction between the phenomenal and the noumena realities (an exchange of the latter into the former), a nihilist might argue that any number of phenomenal realities can be created to justify completely different explanations for interaction. Since the possibility that each of these interactions can negate one another, the only position one can take is of a final negativity.

Do I act? I suppose if you are to think so...
