1. Nihilism As an Outcome of the Valuations and Interpretations of Existence Which Have Prevailed Heretofore.
2.
What does Nihilism mean?—That the highest values are losing their value. There is no bourne. There is no answer to the question: "to what purpose?"
3.
Thorough Nihilism is the conviction that life is absurd, in the light of the highest values already discovered; it also includes the view that we have not the smallest right to assume the existence of transcendental objects or things in themselves, which would be either divine or morality incarnate.
This view is a result of fully developed "truthfulness": therefore a consequence of the belief in morality.
