Summary/Abstract: Nihilism is often associated with the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche's complex ralationship with nihilism can be seen in his statement that "I praise, I do not reproach, (nihilism's) arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strenght!". While this may appear to imply his allegiance to the nihilist viewpoin, it would be more accurate to say thah Nitzsche saw the comming of nihilism as valuable in the long term/as well as ironically acknowledging that nihilism exists in the world so has more gravity compared with categories that refer to a purely fictitious world/.
