{{a|plainenglish| | {{a|plainenglish|}}{{d|Annihilism|/əˈnʌɪ(h)ɪlɪz(ə)m/|n|(made up)}} | ||
A philosophy advocating the wilful obliteration of all cultural, religious and moral principles, in the belief that the single moral truth is that life is meaningless, and that any attempt to make sense of it is therefore sacrilege. 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. | |||
