Vitalis — Denying Nihilism
(1 of 2)
“In Nietzsche’s time, he observed the rise of nihilism — a belief that life has no inherent meaning, that traditional values had crumbled, and that there was no longer a guiding moral framework for society.
With the ‘death of God,’ as Nietzsche declared, traditional religious values were no longer able to provide meaning for modern humanity. As a result, individuals faced a void, a sense of meaninglessness that threatened to overwhelm the human spirit.
But rather than fall into despair, Nietzsche saw this as an opportunity. Nihilism was not the end but a beginning — a chance for individuals to create their own values. He called for the rise of the Übermensch, the Overman, who would reject the life-denying values of the past and forge new, life-affirming principles based on strength, creativity, and the love of life itself.”
