Nihilism – Is Life Meaningless? | Nietzsche, Camus & Peterson #Philosophy

Is life meaningless? Does anything we do actually matter? Welcome to nihilism, a philosophy that challenges our understanding of truth, morality, and purpose. But is nihilism just a path to despair, or could it hold the key to true freedom?

In this video, we explore the roots of nihilism, from Friedrich Nietzsche’s "Death of God" to Albert Camus' "Myth of Sisyphus" and the struggle to find meaning in an indifferent universe. We also look at modern perspectives, including Dr. Jordan Peterson’s call to take responsibility as a way out of nihilism.

We'll also see how existentialist thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Søren Kierkegaard wrestled with nihilism and offered different ways to face it. Whether it's becoming Nietzsche’s Übermensch, embracing Camus’ absurd hero, or taking on the responsibility Peterson advocates, there are many ways to answer the challenge of nihilism.
