----------
Nihilism () , rooted in radical skepticism, denies the existence of objective meaning, truth, or values, asserting that human constructs such as morality and purpose are baseless. It challenges foundational beliefs by deconstructing metaphysical systems and positing that knowledge itself is uncertain or unattainable. From a spiritual lens, nihilism often confronts traditional religious frameworks by rejecting divine authority or cosmic purpose, leading to existential despair or liberation depending on one’s response. While it can evoke a sense of purposelessness, some thinkers like Nietzsche suggest that working through nihilism can pave the way for creating new values and affirming life authentically.
