NIHILISM in Culture and Politics Professor Hank Edmondson Professor Daniel Fernald Office Hours: Spring Semester, 2001, Tu, Th: 11:00-12:15 a.m., Rm. 238 POLS 4950 (section 5) 5950 (section 4) CRN: 21910 Course Overview This class, which combines study in moral philosophy, political philosophy, public policy and culture, is an exploration of the all-important philosophy of nihilism. Harvey Mansfield, Jr. of Harvard University has called nihilism the most important philosophy of our time and our very own Flannery O’Connor—decades ago—perceptively noted that nihilism is the very “air that we breath.” We will first look at the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche, the most popular exponent of nihilism who is best known for his notorious pronouncement “God is Dead.” We will also look at many of the influences upon him, notably Hegel, Schopenhauer, Euripides and Wagner. We will also consider others who wrote about nihilism such as the Russian novelists Turgenev and Dostoevsky. Next we will examine the impact of nihilism on history and culture from Nazism to popular music to popular entertainment. This will include modern classical music such as Richard Strauss and Arnold Schöenberg, rock groups like the Rolling Stones, the Doors, and the Moody Blues; and movies such as “2001: A Space Odyssey” and the recent adaptation of “Cape Fear,” and some twentieth century artists like Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.

To Netnews Homepage Previous Next Index ... Table of Contents The Soul and its Mechanism - Soul, Ether and Energy Srinivasa Iyengar makes the following postulates and states that all the schools of thought, except the school of crude Nihilism accept them. Man is a complex of consciousness, mind and body. The Atma (self) is of the nature of the consciousness and is immutable. Mind, though an inner organ, is material, and is other than the atman. All energy in the universe is personal, i.e., bound up with consciousness. This energy is prana, which is intermediate between mind and matter. "Hindu philosophy regards Prana and not motion as the fundamental energy of the cosmos. Prana is conceived as a power coming from or started by the Purusha (Spirit aspect - A.A.B.) and acting on matter." "All the energy of animals is nervous energy till it leaves the muscles and acts on outside objects. This nervous energy is called Prana. Western Science has for a hundred years unsuccessfully tried to explain nervous energy as a form of mechanical motion; Eastern Philosophy reverses the process and derives [105] mechanical motion from Prana, of energy accompanied by consciousness. Prana corresponds to the Psychikon pneuma, animal spirits, of Greek philosophy, a category which is intermediate between spirit and matter, and brings them into relation with each other."

Etymological origins The term nihilism (from the Latin nihil , meaning "not anything") was popularized by the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev in his novel Fathers and Sons ), to describe the views of an emerging radical Russian intelligentsia. These consisted primarily of upper-class students who had grown disillusioned with the slow pace of reformism. The primary spokesman for this new philosophy was D. I. Pisarev (

The text survives only in summary form in Sextus Empiricus, and Aristotle's On Melissus, Xeonphanes, and Gorgias The second proposition of Gorgias, that if anything exists it cannot be known, is part and parcel of the whole Sophistic tendency of thought, which identifies knowledge with sense-perception, and ignores the rational element. Since sense-impressions differ in different people, and even in the same person, the object as it is in itself cannot be known. The third proposition follows from the same identification of knowledge with sensation, since sensation is what cannot be communicated. Back to Table of Contents IEP

Nihilism and the End of Law Phillip E. Johnson Professor of Law, University of California at Berkeley Published in First Things, March 1993, No. 31 W hen President Bush nominated Judge Clarence Thomas to a vacancy on the United States Supreme Court, liberals opposed to confirming the nomination at first directed critical scrutiny to statements the nominee had made in favour of employing "natural law" in constitutional interpretation. The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee that had to pass upon the nomination, Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, emphasised that he too believed in the existence of natural law. Indeed, he had successfully opposed a previous Republican nominee to the Supreme Court Judge Robert Bork, in part because Bork had denied that the Constitution protects certain "natural rights" that are not mentioned in the document itself. At that time senator Biden had insisted that "my rights are not derived from any government ... my rights are because I exist. They were given to me and each of our fellow citizens by our Creator and they represent the essence of human dignity." Senator Biden feared, however, that Judge Thomas might believe in the wrong kind of natural law. He explained the difference between good and bad natural law in a newspaper article that expanded on the theme first advanced in

Nietzsche and Nihilism Introduction to Nihilism Science and Nihilism Public Policy and Nihilism Nietzsche and Nihilism Materialism and Nihilism Atheism and Nihilism ... Resources Quick Navigation Friedrich Nietzsche is a well know philosopher from Germany. In the field of philosophy he is considered one of the greatest. His work include, Beyond Good and Evil, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche is known for his apathetic view towards life, and his theory that people are not inherently good at the core. He is certainly not a feel good writer. While he is famous for many of his ideas, much of his writing takes on a nihilist framework. For this reason, he is considered one of the greatest, and certainly one of the most well known philosophers of nihilism. In his book Will to Power, he makes the following statement. “Nihilism is not only the belief that everything deserves to perish; but one actually puts one shoulder to the plough; one destroys”. In this quote he is not only reaffirming his nihilist nature, but he is also making a statement that can help us to understand nihilism. Here he is saying that when a person is a nihilist they can take any value or belief, and run it into the ground. Thus, nothing is true, because everything can be destroyed, or negated. This is one of Nietzsche’s central theories. Home

96. Nietzsche : The European Nihilism HE PHILOSOPHICAL nihilist is convinced that all that happens is meaningless and in vain; and that there ought not to be anything meaningless and in vain. http://www.ellopos.net/politics/eu_nietzsche.html

Friedrich Nietzsche, The European Nihilism From: The Will to Power, I. The European Nihilism, II. History of European Nihilism 36 (Nov. 1887-March 1888) HE PHILOSOPHICAL nihilist is convinced that all that happens is meaningless and in vain; and that there ought not to be anything meaningless and in vain. But whence this: there ought not to be, From where does one get this "meaning," this standard?- At bottom, the nihilist thinks that the sight of such a bleak, useless existence makes a philosopher feel dissatisfied, bleak, desperate. Such an insight goes against our finer sensibility as philosophers. It amounts to the absurd valuation: to have any right to be, the character of existence would have to give the philosopher pleasure.- Now it is easy to see that pleasure and displeasure can only be means in the course of events: the question remains whether we are at all able to see the "meaning," the "aim," whether the question of meaninglessness or its opposite is not insoluble for us.- 40 (March-June 1888) The concept of decadence.-Waste, decay, elimination need not be condemned: they are necessary consequences of life, of the growth of life. The phenomenon of decadence is as necessary as any increase and advance of life: one is in no position to abolish it. Reason demands, on the contrary, that we do justice to it.

Deteriorata Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself, and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys. Know what to kiss, and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted, that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, and despite the changing fortunes of time, there is always a big future in computer maintenance. Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate. Know yourself. If you need help, call the F.B.I. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you; that lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls will scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth; birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan. And let not the sand of time get into your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken. Take heart in the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee. You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here. And whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.
