Abstract

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher (1844-1900), he has been appropriated as a leading figure in modern philosophy by many scholars. One of the most famous theories proposed by Nietzsche is Nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that all religion and moral principles are rejected, and life is meaningless. Nietzsche believes that “every belief, every considering something true is necessarily false because there is simply no true world”. It implies that the only objective structure or order in our universe is the one we have given it. This paper is going to discuss how Nietzsche developed the theory of Nihilism after he discovered the fact that scientific development will eventually lead to the death of Christianity. On the other hand, the paper also focuses on how Nihilism is viewed in modern society, and the stereotypes it is associated with.
