Abstract
This essay explores the nihilistic coincidence of the ascetic ideal and Nietzsche's localization of science in the conceptual world of anarchic socialism as Nietzsche indicts the uncritical convictions of modern science by way of a critique of the causa sui, questioning both religion and the enlightenment as well as both free and unfree will and condemning the poor philology enshrined in the language of the laws of nature. Reviewing the history of philosophical nihilism in the context of Nietzsche's tragic knowledge along with political readings of nihilism, willing nothing rather than not willing at all, today's this-worldly and very planetary nihilism includes the virtual loci of technological desire (literally willing nothing) as well as the perpetual and consequently pointless threat of nuclear annihilation and the routine or ordinary annihilation of plant and animal life as of inorganic nature.
