  1. nihil

    Nihil is a philosophical concept that refers to the belief in the absence of inherent meaning or value in life or the universe. It suggests that life is fundamentally meaningless and that there are no objective moral or metaphysical truths. Nihilism often leads to the rejection of traditional belief systems and can result in feelings of existential despair or apathy towards life's purposes.
