Abstract

During a process that lasted almost five centuries, philosophers gradually renounced thinking about the great questions that still concern humanity, including the religious ones. The problem is not just a lack of trust in the human ability to solve them but in a kind of conviction that there is no rationality at the base of reality. We deal both with the historical process that led to nihilism and the fact that nihilism was taken as a starting point never proven as valid. We show the validity of the enquiry into the meaning of human existence, some of the philosophical implications in the very fact that we can’t help but posing the question, and the need for philosophy to rediscover herself as a useful discipline for finding significant answers.
