2011-09-14 22:08:30 (updated 2011-09-14 22:08:31) Stanley Rosen's Nihilism is a key book for
understanding the nature of the Western Worldview. Both Heidegger and Nietzsche make Nihilism a
center piece of their philosophies. Rosen pursues the nature of nihilism by contrasting the
philosophies of Heidegger and Wittgenstein as Nihilistic opposites. Nihilism was originally
coined as a term by Turgenev in Fathers and Sons, where it basically meant how youth who
embraced science did not appreciate traditional norms any longer. From there the meaning of
Nihilism morphed into a position that everything was meaningless and basically took the place
of skepticism as the strawman to be discredited by philosophers. Nietzsche was the first one
to attempt to show it was a central feature of the western worldview, and Heidegger took this
up and specified that it was the essence of technology. Once we begin to understand nihlism
we can see that it is one of the core phenomena generated by the Western worldivew, and that
it is itself the nihilistic opposite of Emergence. In order to understand this nihilistic and
emergent duality of emergence and nihlism within the western worldview we must appropriate the
meaning of nihilism, and it seems to me that Rosen has the best definition. Basically Nihilism
when two antagonistic forces in society that produce a dynamic of conflict are recognized to be
exactly the same thing. If you were caught up in the conflict and suddenly looked at the enemy
and said "we confronted the enemy and we were them" then that would be a loss of meaning in your
world. This is precisely what happens to Achilles in the Iliad when he realizes that the Greeks
are no better than the Trojans when Agamemnon takes his war prize Briseis. He withdraws from the
conflict, but then when his friend Patroclus is killed he goes into a berzerker state. Both of
his reactions are themselves nihilistic. Thus the Iliad functions as a users manual for living
in a Nihilistic worldview. It also tells us about the nature of emergence. And so this fundamental
duality is at the core of our epic tradition and needs to be understood by those encompassed by
the Western worldview. Stanley Rosen's book on Nihilism clarified the philosophical meaning of
this term so it can be a basic tool in our attempts to understand the Western worldview.
