Why are we here? What are we supposed to do? What’s the goal? What’s the meaning of all this?
Without Christianity to guide us, the West now faces a void – a nothingness. If there’s no God to guide us, no Afterlife to suffer for, and no divine purpose, then what’s the point of living?
Even though Nietzsche was highly critical of Christianity (seeing it as a “life-denying” force), he acknowledged the danger of its decline: nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that nothing matters: the belief in nothing. This video explores nihilism and possible solutions by Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Camus.
