I still stand by my last point. Nothing mattering would just evaporate any reason for living. — Darkneos
"Why do many people say Camus "solved" nihilism?"
My theory is that he posed it as a mathematical theorem, and then he solved the theorem. — god must be atheist
(1) Nazis after World War 1 were really into Fitche, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, but those thinkers weren't Nazi. — Gregory
Heidgger had anti-Semitic moments — Gregory
I think a Nazi is necessarily Heidegarrian, but a Heidegarrian is not necessary a Nazi — Gregory
From where I stand he didn't, he just dodged the question of the meaninglessness of existence and says we should revolt instead of suicide. — Darkneos
amus doesn't matter. The relevant one is Jean Genet. Life is not a pleasure, but suicide consists of a low level of serotonin in the nervous system. — Miguel Hernández
It doesn't really give you a key though. Camus is still dodging by assigning meaning and value to living. Nihilism says there is no meaning or value. — Darkneos
Values and life goals are pretty much the reasons why anyone is alive at all.
Life is not a joyride, it's hell unless you're in the developed world. — Darkneos
No, that's not the right chronological order.Therapist Dr Victor Frankl devised Logotherapy as a consequence of his time in a concentration camp (he wanted to understand why some people survived and others did not) and his ideas are far more relevant that what we can offer. — Tom Storm
Logotherapy is based on an existential analysis[6] focusing on Kierkegaard's will to meaning as opposed to Alfred Adler's Nietzschean doctrine of will to power or Freud's will to pleasure. Rather than power or pleasure, logotherapy is founded upon the belief that striving to find meaning in life is the primary, most powerful motivating and driving force in humans.[2] A short introduction to this system is given in Frankl's most famous book, Man's Search for Meaning, in which he outlines how his theories helped him to survive his Holocaust experience and how that experience further developed and reinforced his theories.
