Nihilism in metaphysics

Nihilism in metaphysics is the philosophical view that life, existence, and the universe lack inherent meaning, purpose, or value. It suggests that, at the fundamental level, there are no objective truths or intrinsic significance in reality. This perspective often leads to the belief that our concepts of morality, truth, and purpose are human constructs rather than reflections of any ultimate reality. In essence, nihilism challenges the idea that there is any fixed or meaningful foundation to existence, emphasizing instead the absence of intrinsic meaning within the nature of reality itself.
