Guest Guest_Sir Llama Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I was reading about nihilism, and my question is this: Are there really any significant differences between nihilism and objectivism? It kind of seems like nihilism is an extreme type of objectivism. but then again, my understanding of both subjects is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidmeadj Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 There's a huge difference between Nihilism and Objectivism. Nihilism says that values are baseless and that you can't know or communicate anything. It's pessimism, cynicism, skepticism. Objectivism says the exact opposite: there are values worth keeping and acheiving, and you most certainly can know and communicate things.
