Debate Nihilisms: a place for pleasant discussion when at all possible.

r/DebateNihilisms

This sub is intended to fill the lack of meaningful political, philosophical, epistemological, et cetera, discussion of nihilism in the many subreddits dedicated to the topic. This is not to say that there is a correct nihilism, or a true nihilist, only that there has not yet been made space for this sort of discussion.

This subreddit is just starting out, any opinions on what should or should not be added as rules/resources below are welcome.

Some rules, for now:

This is not a suicide hotline, if you are feeling suicidal and wish to discuss it r/suicidewatch is a much better resource.
This is intended as a discussion sub, so only text posts will be allowed.
This is not a place to discuss personal depression, hopelessness, or angst (in a non-theoretical sense); if that is what you are searching for r/depression and other places are already there for you.
In order to make this a space conducive to discussion, sexism, racism, homophobia, et cetera, are not allowed.

Hopefully this community will grow, at which point the sub will be capable of self-moderation.

Some resources if you care to read them:

Wikipedia page for Nihilism. This gives a decent summary of some of the less commonly known forms of nihilism.

Nietzsche

Beyond Good and Evil

Twilight of the Idols

Heidegger

Stirner
