Concept of nihilism

Nihilism is a philosophical perspective that questions the existence of inherent meaning, value, or purpose in life, beliefs, or the universe. It suggests that life and all its concepts lack intrinsic significance, leading to a view that traditional moral and societal structures may be unfounded or arbitrarily constructed. While it can evoke feelings of despair, some also see it as an invitation to create personal meaning in a universe without predetermined purpose. Ultimately, nihilism challenges us to reconsider what we consider meaningful, pushing us to find or define our own values in the absence of universal ones.
