What if life has no cosmic purpose, morality has no eternal foundation, and the universe is completely indifferent to your plans?
Welcome to nihilism.
Nihilism and the Problem of Meaning is an accessible, irreverent introduction to one of philosophy’s most uncomfortable problems: if there is no ultimate foundation beneath our values, beliefs, and purposes, what follows?
From Nietzsche’s “death of God” to Dostoevsky, Sartre, Camus, Hume, Kant, and Marx, the book explores nihilism, absurdism, freedom, morality, skepticism, relativism, and the modern struggle to find meaning through work, identity, achievement, consumption, and self-improvement.
Because “nothing matters” sounds simple enough—until you try to work out what it actually means.
