43. Nihilism
    Fundamentally, nihilism represented a philosophy of negation of all forms ofaestheticism; it advocated utilitarianism and scientific rationalism.  
    http://www.kat.gr/kat/history/Mod/Th/Nihilism.htm
    
    Extractions: (from Latin nihil, Messenger of Europe, applying it to Aleksandr Pushkin. Nadezhdin, as did V. Bervi later in 1858, equated nihilism with skepticism . Mikhail N. Katkov, a well-known conservative journalist mainly responsible for interpreting nihilism as synonymous with revolution, presented nihilism as constituting a social menace by its negation of all moral principles. It was Ivan Turgenev in his celebrated novel Fathers and Sons (1862) who popularized the term through the figure of Bazarov the nihilist. Eventually the nihilists of the 1860s and '70s came to be regarded as disheveled, un tidy, unruly, ragged men who rebelled against tradition and social order. The philosophy of nihilism then began to be associated erroneously with the regicide of Alexander II (1881) and the political terror that was employed by those active at the time in clandestine organizations against absolutism. If to the conservative elements the nihilists were the curse of the time, to the liberals such as N.G. Chernyshevsky they represented a mere transitory factor in the development of national thought, a stage in the struggle for individual freedom, a true spirit of the rebellious young generation. In his novel What Is to Be Done?

    Extractions: A study of recent publications addressing postmodernism yields a myriad of materials and a panoply of perspectives. When did we or will we "cross the postmodern divide"? Is modernity really dead or only wounded? What identifies, if anything, the postmodernist posture? Although postmodernist philosophy is too diverse to corral into a tidy definition, one way of understanding it and assessing some of its common themes is to look to the thought of a predecessor, Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche, once hailed as a father of existentialism, has now come a kind of posthumous prophet for postmodernism, which often deems him a pioneering voice for its suspicion of universal rationality, morality, objectivity, and Western Christian sensibilities in general. Postmodernists also find in him an emphasis on the conventionality and contingency of all institutions and moralities, which, when deconstruct ( a la Michel Foucault) end up as no more than self justifying arrangements of power. Thinkers such as Richard Rorty look to Nietzsche as an inspiration for their escape from the orbit of modernity, especially from its emphasis on objective truth and meaning that exists apart from evaluating agents.

Mereological Nihilism and the Limits of Paraphrase I argue that the mereological nihilist, one who denies that composition ever occurs, must resort to an ontology of sets in order to paraphrase away apparent reference to composite objects in everyday speech.

    Extractions: Home Biography Writing Consulting ... Links TRANSHUMANISM Towards a Futurist Philosophy Max More, Ph.D. maxmore@primenet.com more@extropy.org http://www.primenet.com/~maxmore Humanity is in the early stages of a period of explosive expansion in knowledge, freedom, intelligence, lifespan, and wisdom. Yet our species persists in old conceptual structures and processes which act as a drag on progress. One of the worst is religious thinking. In this essay I will show how religion acts as an entropic force, standing against our advancement into transhumanity and our future as posthumans. At the same time I will acknowledge the necessary and positive role that religions have played in giving meaning and structure to our lives. The alternative to religion is not a despairing nihilism, nor a sterile scientism, but transhumanism. Humanism, while a major step in the right direction, contains too many outdated values and ideas. Extropianism the principal form of transhumanism moves beyond humanism, focusing on our evolutionary future. Before launching the discussion it will be helpful to distinguish between the notions of religion, humanism, transhumanism, posthuman, eupraxophy, and Extropianism.

    Extractions: Translated by Stephen Sartarelli Introduction by Patrizia Lombardo This book introduces the writings of one of the most influential social philosophers in Italy today to an English-speaking audience. Massimo Cacciari studies the relation between philosophy and modern architecture and applies the thinking of avant-garde architects, artists, and writers to the social and political problems raised by technological society. "An outstanding original work of scholarship and polemic."John Paul Russo, University of Miami "Cacciari approaches his 'mission to demystify' with an appealing blend of stern sobriety and tentative delicacy."Philip Tabor, Architectural Review "An original presentation which not only illuminates the narrative of modern architecture and planning but, even more importantly, serves as a demonstration of a genuinely intellectual architectural discourse."Thomas A.

    http://nihilists.net/morenihilism.html
    
    Extractions: People have a hard time understanding Nihilism, and definitions do little to help because they don't put this idea into a human context. Therefore I have included my personal attitude about Nihilism below. I do not claim to be a definitive source on Nihilism. Every nihilist has his or her own way of relating to the meaninglessness of life; my experience is just one example. Some of the things I have included to explain nihilism are: The denial of the validity of all distinctions of moral values. As this position involves in effect the denial of the possibility of all ethical philosophy, it has seldom been taken by philosophers. In the history of thought, however, less pure ethical nihilism sometimes appears as an intermediate stage in a philosophy which wishes to deny the validity of all previous systems of value as preliminary to substituting a new one in their places.

59. The Philosophy Of Friedrich Nietzsche
    Campbell concludes that Nietzsche's philosophy represents many qualities of a AsNietzsche himself puts it Attempts to escape nihilism without transvaluing  
    http://www.angelfire.com/ga/wkb/nietzsche.html
    
    Extractions: “God is dead.” With these words, Friedrich Nietzsche ensured his place among the most memoriable philosophers in history. This phrase ranks alongside Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am” as one of the most important in western philosophy. But, Nietzsche’s statement represents only a small portion of his overall philosophical effort. It’s outlandish nature continues to draw far more emphasis to it than perhaps Nietzsche himself would have desired. The German philosopher’s writings covered a wide-range of subjects, Christianity being but one area struck by his powerful “hammer.” Nietzsche wrote about Greek philosophy, the nature of “Truth” and “Knowledge,” modern values and morals, what it means to be human, and about transcending our humanity to become the “Ubermensch.” He developed the concepts of the “Will to Power” and of “Eternal Recurrence,” both of which have been influential and hotly debated in contemporary philosophy. Much of what he espoused has been criticized as harsh, pessimistic, and nihilistic. But, there is much in his work that is of an inspirational nature. Many of Nietsche’s own criticisms and insights into the modern world have proven to be penetrating and even prophetic. Among his critics, Irving Zeitlin writes, echoing Dostoevsky's
