Nihilism

The question of whether the relationship between Feminism and Postmodernism is or has been a productive one (especially for the former) is one that has been asked for a generation now. In its wake has emerged philosophies and theories which have profoundly challenged, if not altered, the shape and direction of Feminism, much to the ongoing dismay of many of its advocates. While the often-contentious discourse around these “two leading currents of our time” (17) did not begin with the debate that…

is very deceiving. By his deceiving ways he seduces Joy-Hulga and runs off with her artificial leg. But as stated earlier, Joy-Hulga thought she was going to seduce him but she was wrong. O’Connor is using Joy-Hulga to symbolize her religion of nihilism as Joy-Hulga thought that she was going to seduce a good Christian man to prove her point that there is no higher power and that morals are meaningless and that Manly Pointer should believe in nothing much like she…

It is not rare that an athlete breaks his record newly during a certain period continuously in the athletic world. Indeed, the same thing happens in a literary planet as well. Shigeharu Nakano was a Japanese author and Communist Party politician, and also a top runner of the age for the youth that began to open their eyes with Marxism through the literary world. Because those people who came to the stage already despaired all the Japanese existed, besides for them the death of Akutagawa was…

The Russian Empire under the rule of the Romanov Dynasty for almost 300 years grew and cemented itself as a major global power, equalling its Western European counterparts. Through massive technological change, the kindling of international relations, and social and economic crises alike, imperial Russia was piloted by tsars and tsarinas to rise as a modern empire. From its ambiguous beginnings in 1613, the Romanov dynasty was born from the boyar nobles of feudal Russia, bearing historically…

come at the end of the chain. God is believed to be a ‘supernatural intelligence’; he is also believed to have designed and created the universe. Epicurus had good theories about universe theory, that there is infinite and eternal, annihilation (nihilism), at death; no soul. These ones are good but the better one is the problem of evil suggest too much evil suggests the amount God care for you. This is because there is bad evil such as: murder, adultery, robbing, drugs etc. These theories are…

Disease and degeneracy has taken place of the progression promised by the Enlightenment, there is discomfort present within modern society and its streamlining that has led to the world despair and nihilism. Modern mechanical social structure stands responsible for the capacity depletion of humanity to find meaning, and the increased intellectual sophistication is in fact a manifestation of a vane sense of egoism, bound to erupt violently. What was deemed to become the age of information has…

William L. Craig also agrees that a person can be morally good without the belief in God, however, he states that the debate is about the goodness without God. He argued that Kurtz showed the absence of God in order to show that nihilism is not true. But in Craig’s statement he argued for theism, which is when moral values are bounded by God. He made a statement that if theism were to be true, then we have a sound foundation for morality, and if it is not true, we do not have a sound…

At first sight, global transformation with the intensification of stimulus has shifted people’s behaviour in all aspects of life affecting and eroding social construction of reality, being one of the most important…

The current thesis endeavors to access the notion of “ Nothing is true, everything is permitted.” What is truth? What is so intricately responsible and substantial as to justify the real in depths of truth? Is truth ‘true’? What is ‘true’ then? “To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. Everything is permitted... is to understand that we are the architects of our actions and we must live…
