Nihilism

Nihilism means "nothing." It is the lack of belief in meaning or substance in an area of philosophy.

• Moral nihilism argues that moral facts cannot exist.
• Metaphysical nihilism argues that we cannot have spiritual facts.
• Existential nihilism is the idea that life cannot have meaning and nothing has value.

Nietzsche was not a nihilist but wrote about the dangers posed by this philosophy.
