Description Nihilism: (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that the world, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following: there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator, a "true morality" does not exist, and secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has no truth, and no action can be preferable to any other.

I fail to see the connection between this piece of work and nihilism.

I had this scene somewhere in my imagination. I was dreaming about landscape slowly deconstructing and turning into pieces. People losing all the features/details. From the background strong wind was blowing and carrying the debris off the screen so there is nothing left.

I find it quite nihilistic.

Thank you for your comment

And interesting concept, how exactly does this image portray the nihilist philosophy?

Great piece by the way.

it portrays deconstruction caused by scepticism and pesimism. Everything is questionable - sooner or later everything will fall apart.

Now I understand. An excellent piece. I can definitely see the message you're trying to portray.

awesome representation of an interesting philosophical concept. i like what socrates said: "the only thing that is certain is uncertainty". i like to be open to all philosophical ideas and i like yours, but how does nihilism explain emotion? chance? consequence of chaos? very interesting. respect to you.

Aphariel In reply to Spiral0utKeepGoing [2010-02-12 11:06:47 +0000 UTC]

the nihilism itself in here is a representation of aspiration towards nothingness.

It can be seen as a philosophical idea but also a emotion that everyting around you just let u down and there there's nothing more. Yes, a more destructive part of nothingness.

Thank you for your comment, sorry for epicly slow response

Do you know of any writers or thinkers that actually are nihilists? Some (Nietzsche, Sartre, etc.) have some semi-nihilistic ideas, but most of them end up pussyfooting around it somehow.

Anyway, great piece. I faved it a while ago before I understood what it meant. Then I understood, was horrified, and un-faved. Now I like it again.

Hi there my mate. Long time, no see
It is interesting philosophy and more or less its mine philosophy. A consequence is that life seems to be a black comedy
