@kshackleton nihilism: 1. The rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless. 2. Extreme skepticism, according to which nothing in the world has a real existence. it doesnt state that you cant know anything that would be insane ive had to study nihilism quite in-depth and they are basically really sceptical about everything.
-
Hmm....the version of Nihilism that I am familiar with states that knowledge is not possible. I actually agree with the idea that you need evidence in order to support beliefs, and that the strength of you convictions should be in accord with the evidence that supports those convictions. That's not Nihilism, that's simply a rational view.
-
@kshackleton no its that you cant know anything unless you can actually prove it so they dont believe in religion.
-
But, Nihilists claim that you cannot know anything.
-
@kshackleton by logic :P
-
How would anyone ever know....if you're a Nihilist?
-
The host was quick to 'show' the missed handshake as the presenting gesture to introduce the guest I mean Dawkins
-
@983215ljhlkadbspig6y who says nihilism is bad?
-
I love this; part 1 and part 2. I absolutely love the way in which the interviewer doesn't attempt to twist Dawkin's words or impart his own beliefs.
That missed handshake lol
