The notion of hypernihilism: the debate over modern nihilism
This article examines the position of the Dutch historian of philosophy Paul van Tongeren, who questions the existence of the phenomenon of nihilism in the Nietzschean sense of the word these days. According to van Tongeren, nihilism does not exist today because the subject today defends rather than nullifies the values and meanings that were devalued in Nietzsche's time. However, not everyone shares this thesis. The theorists of hypernihilism B. Stigler and S. Zorgner justify their positions by rethinking Nietzsche's concept of nihilism and the Overhuman.
