A philosophy advocating not just the nihilistic rejection of all cultural, religious and moral principles but their wilful obliteration, in the belief that there is but a single moral truth: that life is meaningless, and that therefore any attempt to make sense of it, or reduce it to a kind of moral or political framework, is a sacrilege. In this way some philosophers regard annihilism as a kind of ''radical'' nihilism. | |||
{{ | The term is credited to {{otto}}, and coming from [[Herculio]]’s soliloquy in {{dsh}}, cited below, even though {{buchstein}} did not, exactly, use it. | ||
