Short, interesting and easily digestible for the lay reader. The author presents an idiosyncratic view of the everyday understanding of nihilism. Nihilism, on this view, isn鈥檛 what your average edgy teenager feels when their hormones kick in. It does not entail an extreme pessimism about life, that life is meaningless and purposeless. Neither is it a philosophical stance about there being no truth-values, whether in ethics or epistemology. Rather, nihilism is roughly construed as the deliberate ignorance of discomforting facts. Choosing to believe in things鈥攂e it in relation to God, nature, scientific principles or whatever鈥攕imply in order to escape the necessity of confronting the chaos and absurdity of existence; wilful ignorance in the name of comfort. Basically almost what the existentialists were preaching all along.

The author then makes a normative claim that, on his unique interpretation of nihilism, nihilism is something undesirable. But he fails to clarify why this is so; why 'comfort', for example, shouldn't be a justifiable reason for holding a belief. Why is his implicit commitment to a scientific realist epistemology superior to other epistemologies that value wilful ignorance? For a pragmatist, or anyone familiar with William James' views on religion, comfort may well serve as a sufficient basis for belief. The book leaves this tension unresolved.

Not sure about the last chapter on technologies either. Fun, quick read though.

A refreshing take on nihilism that's insightful at times, but not exactly cutting edge philosophy. Lots of unnecessary name-dropping. It relies mostly on Nietzsche's work, and I just don't like Nietzsche's methodologically sketchy approach of designating anything that's destructive to what he considers human nature to be nihilism. Nothingness and its implications are, imho, definitely not taken seriously enough here, and neither is there enough attention devoted to the justification of the book's normative claims.

Disappointing 鈥� the book consists of a series of almost perverse inversions of common understandings of nihilism, and is afflicted by a meander 鈥渙h-and-another-thing鈥� mode or argumentation that oscillates between tendentious readings of mostly continental philosopher and random examples from American pop culture. Nietzsche is rightly given his due as the intellectual lodestar of nihilism, but ultimately Hannah Arendt is wheeled in to provide the argument that a properly political life is the antidote to nihilism. But why we need an antidote is not made clear.

More amusing than I've expected.
I like its structure - very logical and helps prevent unnecessary repetitions.
Some interesting (and not commonly known facts), e.g. about how Nazis "hijacked" Nietzsche.

What didn't I like?
- in some cases, I had a feeling the author would like to give far more "deeper" meaning to nihilism than its followers have meant ...
- I've expected a bit more on the link between the nihilists and futurists
- the author's perspective on nihilism feels sometimes very 'sterile' - it felt like it completely misses the 'street' aspect of 'no-future', which appears also like a form of nihilism

In the end, it's a good source of information on the topics. Feels objective enough and definitely is informative enough.

"Our faith in scientific progress has culminated in our having lost faith in humanity, and precisely for this reason our faith in scientific progress has grown only stronger as it is scientific progress that is supposed to fix all that is flawed in humanity. Consequently, the more we suffer from scientific progress, the more we turn to scientific progress to cure our suffering. Like someone lost in a desert, we cling desperately to any guide who claims to know the way out, even if that guide was the one who led us into the desert in the first place." (155)

Buku mengenai nihilisme yang menarik. 鈥淣ihilism鈥� merupakan usaha Gertz untuk 鈥榤embersihkan鈥� pemaknaan nihilisme dari distorsi budaya populer. Pada bab 3 鈥榃hat is (not) Nihilism?鈥� Gertz memulainya dengan membedakan nihilisme dengan pesimisme, sinisme, serta apatisme. 鈥淧essimists are not nihilists because pessimists embrace rather than evade despair. Cynics are not nihilists because cynics embrace rather than evade mendacity鈥� (hal 45). Bagi Gertz, sikap nihilis berawal dari sikap penyangkalan lalu berlanjut pada sebuah ketidakpedulian. 鈥淒iscovering life is meaningless is not nihilism for Nietzsche; rather discovering life is meaningless and yet going on with our lives anyway is nihilism鈥� (hal 55). Selama ini saya membayangkan seorang nihilis sebagai seorang pesimis-edgy yang kebetulan membaca sedikit Nietzsche, dan di setiap pembicaraan selalu berkata 鈥榖uat apa sih dipikir berat-berat, kita semua bakal mati kok pada akhirnya.鈥� Ternyata tidak sesederhana itu. Gertz menunjukkan bahwa sikap nihilis justru dekat dengan kebalikan dari sikap-sikap semacam itu (pesimisme, sinisme, dan apatisme). Baginya sikap itu malahan ada pada orang-orang yang terlihat bahagia, hidup untuk hari ini, optimis dan lain-lain. Sikap itu ada pada orang-orang yang 鈥渄o not care about the consequences of their actions鈥�.

鈥淣ihilism鈥� jelas bukanlah sebuah karya filsafat yang penuh terobosan. Ia hanya memaparkan benang merah tradisi pemikiran yang berkaitan dengan nihilisme dan relevansinya sekarang. Meskipun begitu, saya belajar banyak hal. Kekuatan karya Gertz ini bukanlah pada kedalamannya, melainkan metode penulisannya. Gertz seolah memberikan kail-kail yang memancing saya untuk terus menerus ingin tahu, dan ia melakukannya dengan sangat baik. Jika ditanya bagaimana buku filsafat populer yang bagus, mungkin saya akan sering merujuk karya-karya Gertz.

脟a fait des ann茅es que j'essaie de comprendre ce qu'est le nihilisme, cet ouvrage de vulgarisation me permet enfin de comprendre de quoi il en retourne. 脌 travers l'histoire philosophique, mais surtout et , il montre comment le concept s'est form茅, comment il a 茅t茅 utilis茅, ce qu'il est et ce qu'il n'est pas (de l'apathie, du pessimisme, etc.).
M锚me si 脿 certains moments, j'ai d没 relire des passages pour bien comprendre, je dois avouer que c'est la premi猫re fois que je comprends un livre qui me parle de Nietzsche et il vulgarise plut么t bien des id茅es assez complexes.

J'ai aussi appr茅ci茅 des r茅flexions plus large sur les liens entre le nihilisme et l'茅ducation, l'茅tat et le capitalisme, 莽a aidait 脿 pr茅ciser un peu le concept et 脿 voir comment il 茅tait applicable (ou non) dans certains contextes. Je ne m'attendais pas du tout 脿 voir une r茅flexion sur l'茅ducation et , mais c'茅tait le plaisir du d茅veloppement de l'essai.

Nolen Gertz's book is a really good book about nihilism, but, currently, I have a feeling that I used to know more about nihilism before this reading. After "Nihilism" everything became complicated for me about the phenomenon, yet I also feel inspired by similar philosophical topics. It is nice to see a void in your knowledge that you try to fill with philosophy. I used to be under severe apathy about the question "Who am I?"; however, now, I have an increased level of ensuring that it is worth discovering new horizons. Just like in the case of this book. I started to identify if I am a nihilist or not and learned that there is much more and that digging further is a must. I recommend this book, even though some parts are quite monotonic and the author's approach to certain topics is highly narrowed and superficial.

I enjoyed, was shocked and enlightened by this book. It was like reading Fromm's Art of Loving or Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. After finishing them, you do not know what to do with them.. you might forget them but they remain there, somewhere.

Nihilism is evading reality, escaping freedom and its responsibility. It's not denying the meaningfulness of life, rather it's believing that what makes life meaningful has become meaningless. As Nietzsche defines it: "That the highest values devalue themselves.

I liked Gertz reading of Nietzsche鈥檚 philosophy of nihilism:

Nietzsche鈥檚 diagnosis of nihilism was very complex and wide-ranging, Nietzsche鈥檚 primary concern was with the idea of nihilism as the evasion of what it means to be human. Nietzsche identified such nihilistic evasiveness in Christianity, in Buddhism, in philosophy, in art, in science, and in culture. Nietzsche鈥檚 diagnosis was that what these various versions of nihilistic evasiveness have in common is that they are a result of the repression required to live in civilized society, to live in peace rather than risk living in fear.

In the third chapter, it was made clear that nihilism is neither pessimism, cynicism nor apathy. On the contrary, while pessimism is dwelling on despair, nihilism is evading despair and hence is more akin to optimism; while cynicism is confronting deception, nihilism evades it by idealism; while apathy is about unfeeling, nihilism evade it by ... pity and sympathy that mislead us in believing in our superiority to those in need.

However, nihilism is not just an individual attitude but a social phenomenon and political issue. Our social, cultural and political systems are nihilistic because nihilism is these systems' way of perpetuating themselves. So, nihilism is dangerous because it "dehumanizes" humans and creates such empty, though seemingly full lives that are stuffed with "constructive activities" like watching TV to prevent the destruction of society.

Finally, nihilism might be fought by nihilism is what the author suggests at the end. " Technologies may not be creating new values, but they are creating new forms of nihilism. [...] if the nihilism generated by technological progress doesn鈥檛 make us too self-destructive, then perhaps instead it will make us just destructive enough to force us to finally become creative. In other words, if nihilism doesn鈥檛 kill us, it might make us stronger."

Nihilism is an intricately constructed book about such a popular yet evasive concept that adds something to anyone who comes to read it.

It's always good to read about a thing and have an idea about the thing, to think 'I am thing' before you read and somewhere during thing be affirmed that it was right to think 'I am thing' and then get to the end of thing, finish thing, come to grips with the fact that thing must be thought about to be satisfactorily explained, for the sake of reading one must review, for the sake of reviewing one must read, yet one has realised maybe one has never really understood a book in a sense acceptable for the purpose of explaining thing and it has always been done for the malicious purpose of propping up one's ego as the reader of things, and it would be best if one went back to each and every thing and considered it deeply and thought it through, and took notes and didn't rely upon a special capacity of memory and speed of thought processing ability one doesn't possess, despite one's wishes, for the purpose of understanding thing. So this is not a review of thing so much as it is a stage of grief between seeing, knowing, and experiencing the effects of thing, quite like a the flash of a pistol, the roar of a bullet, and the impact into the now flailing body. The thing has happened upon me. I should go back and pretend I was a student and take thing a bit more seriously.

Having read Dostoyesvky, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and confronting the existentialist literature of Camus and Sartre, must shamefully admit that for all the input I got, I never really cared to sort all of what I have read, this book nicely put all the stuff I've read, learnt and got insight from all these previous men into nicely designed abstract bookshelves in my head. Would recommend 10/10 to my fellow proactive nihilists that want to get out from an endless (in contrast to meaningful) loop of scepticism.

In my quest to better understand nihilism 鈥� so I might fairly respond to when my students read that book 鈥� I thought it wise to seek out an introduction to the concept.

Only after ordering Gertz's book did I find , and begin a process of blending doubt with confusion. Why is he dragging Lisa Simpson into this? How can he say "movies like The Big Lebowski have turned nihilists into icons" without addressing the fact that those guys are not actually nihilists, as Walter points out? What am I missing? Perhaps I don't understand nihilism after all. I mean, fits with my understanding, but maybe that is wrong, or I can't figure out how to square the circle here. "It's okay," I thought. "When I finish reading the book, this will all make more sense."

Well, I'm finished, and no it does not.

I will admit right away that I am a total neophyte when it comes to philosophy. I'm fascinated by it, but I have never studied it in any kind of comprehensive way. Still, I would have thought a "MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series" book on the subject could help a blockhead like me wrap his brain around this subject, and help me avoid pitfalls or mistakes in my teaching. Instead, I am filled with many more questions than answers. (And not good, healthy questions like the kind I get when I read the Tao Te Ching or a Cornel West book.)

To give just one example: Chapter 3 appears online . In his attempt to pinpoint what nihilism is by demonstrating what it is not 鈥� an excellent strategy, to be sure 鈥� he writes:
Pessimists are not nihilists because pessimists embrace rather than evade despair. Cynics are not nihilists because cynics embrace rather than evade mendacity. A key part of evading despair is the willingness to believe, to believe that people can be good, that goodness is rewarded, and that such rewards can exist even if we do not experience them.
Huh? Am I reading this correctly? "nihilists [鈥 evade despair [鈥� and show] willingness to believe [鈥 that people can be good, that goodness is rewarded"? Either this is gibberish or I am really stupid.

I feel like perhaps Gertz is playing fast and loose with different types of nihilism. I feel like the writing is intentionally opaque at times 鈥� which is the exact opposite of what I expected from an "Essential Knowledge Series" book. I feel like the tangents and diversions are more distracting than illuminating. Obviously these feelings of mine are enormously subjective, but if anyone considering a read of this text has as unsophisticated a mind as mine, be forewarned.

I tell my students all the time that (A) if your reader is trying to understand a concept and still does not get it, it's your fault as a writer; [This is true for teachers as well, of course.] and (B) confusion is always the first step toward enlightenment. Of course that confusion does not guarantee enlightenment, and I must confess that I do not feel significantly more enlightened after reading this book than I did before. (It's possible that I will gain enlightenment later, upon reflecting on what I've read here.)

This book contains many helpful things, and I am (after all) giving it three stars. The section about nihilism at school rings a dozen bells with me, and in fact I think some students will enjoy reading that section when I photocopy it for them. But as a comprehensive introduction to the subject, I feel that it is too diffuse and linguistically imprecise to provide what I need.

Nihilism is the ability to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the world burn.

I picked this book up because my reading about hedonism (which is pretty close to utilitarianism, in the end, with pleasure as the utility function) got me curious. I somewhat regret getting it as an audiobook because, as usual with nonfiction books, I would have liked to highlight a few phrases without having to quickly jot them down from memory like the line above.

(Adaptive, I have to admit, if the world is burning anyway and one happens to have a glass of wine.)

I learned that nihilism is not a well-formed system of thought that anyone advocates. When Gertz discusses the history of Western philosophers and how they dealt with the idea that perhaps something is meaningless, it was interesting but could have used the word "meaninglessness" all the way through. (I'd forgotten, if I ever realized, how lame Decartes' proof of the existence of God really was. Sheesh.) It wasn't until Nietzsche that psychological nihilism entered the picture, primarily as "apathy due to the belief that nothing matters" or, as it was more often discussed in the book, "situational apathy due to the belief that no relevant action can be taken". And later on, finally, was a discussion of active nihilism, as the desire to (or action of) destroying the current system in order for something else to arise. This could have simply been covered as "destructiveness" or perhaps even "disruption".

So perhaps I learned that "nihilism" is used for too many concepts, and always viewed as a negative even when the more specific concept in question could also be seen as adaptive.

There was interesting discussion of how an individualist but bureaucratic society might lead individual people toward nihilism (in the apathy sense, sitting around with their wine) because they believe, even correctly, that individual action might make no difference -- and overlook the possibility that collective action might still make a difference. I see collective action in a lot of places though, and reject the premise that we truly are in an individualist society. I also appreciated the discussion of the subjugation of experienced reality in favor of relying on experts and science -- though again, I've been seeing a huge countermovement toward "lived experience" in some contexts and "human voices" in others, so I (experientially) fail to agree that this subjugation ever really happened. Though I do agree that there's value in hashing out our shared experience with equals, to develop our worldviews and empathy and yes, okay, to become more human.

One last thing -- I learned that Kafka was a claims investigator at an insurance company. Suddenly a lot of his writings make more sense!

Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Descartes has examined life and yet finds that the unexamined life was more 鈥減leasant,鈥� more 鈥減eaceful,鈥� more worth living

Discovering life is meaningless is not nihilism for Nietzsche; rather discovering life is meaningless and yet going on with our lives anyway is nihilism.

Autors paskaidro, ka nihilism nav ne pesimisms, ne cinisms, ne ap膩tija. Nihilism ir gan m膩j膩s, gan skol膩, gan darb膩.
For now that we have improved working conditions, now that we have health care, 40-hour work weeks, sick leave, vacation time, photocopiers, and coffee machines, there is increasingly little left for us to hate about work other than working itself.

Nihilisti necer atrast k膩du faktu vai paties墨bu, kas 募aus dz墨vot ar mierin膩jumu. Un m奴su att墨st墨t膩s tehnolo模ijas ir l墨dzeklis, lai "atsl膿gtos" no ikdienas.

Nietzsche argues that science is not the enemy of religion, but is instead a new religion.

Atheists are called nihilistic for not caring about faith. The religious are called nihilistic for not caring about facts. Conservatives are called nihilistic for not caring about social progress. Progressives are called nihilistic for not caring about social norms. Vegetarians are called nihilistic for not caring about farmworkers. Carnivores are called nihilistic for not caring about farm animals.

if the nihilism generated by technological progress doesn鈥檛 make us too self-destructive, then perhaps instead it will make us just destructive enough to force us to finally become creative. In other words, if nihilism doesn鈥檛 kill us, it might make us stronger.

This was an engaging read from beginning to end. Gertz takes you on a delightful ride through the history of nihilist thought and points out how and where Nihilism is prevalent in our modern lives. I enjoyed it very much.

One minor disappointment is that the conclusions are sometimes obscure or confusing (what is he trying to say...other than entertain me?) It still deserves 5 stars!

Philosophy and social criticism in the spirit of Neil Postman, a great reminder to remain alive and to think. Definitely a fun and engaging read with current references that are unpretentious and uncontrived. I was partial to the dialogue from the show Daria

A very intellectual and important book. I'm still trying to understand and summarize the takeaways, but basically: think critically, feel everything, and change the system.

thought provoking and well-sourced! Nihilism is a word that's thrown around so much that I thought I knew what it was. Turns out I had some misconceptions. Worth the read to dispell pre-conceived notions

Detailed explanation of the roots behind the word and differences to similar yet contrastive phrases such as apathy. Somehow managed to write about the political expedience for people who love a nothingness.

I've felt a certain type of way lately, which I assumed was nihilistic based on my remedial understanding of the philosophy. So, I decided to pick up this book from Nolen Gertz. MIT Press releases some awesome books, and this one was a great introduction to the subject. It helped me better understand the difference between nihilism and pessimism, as well as many other misconceptions about nihilism.听

I gained a better understanding about how nihilism isn't this kind of apathy, but some see it as a sign that you do actually care. The book brought up some thought-provoking discussions, and towards the end, there's an excellent chapter about how nihilism relates to education, work, and other aspects of life. I gained a better understanding of how I see the world and realized that my nihilistic tendencies really just help me pick and choose what I'm going to spend my time on. As someone who almost died 8 years ago from a drug addiction, I realized how much time we all waste on things that really don't matter.
