Note on
Resources
Although
nihilism is not new it arguably has more significance now than
ever before, and yet the material that reaches into the mainstream
of public awareness is usually inconsistent or
just inaccurate. Nevertheless a small amount of coherent classic
literature and philosophy is easy to find, mostly from Turgenev,
Dostoyevsky, Kafka and Nietzsche. A fair amount of serious and
in-depth research and discussion exists in large libraries like
those in universities. Some useful keywords to combine here are
nihilism, anarchism, post-modernism, existentialism and
Russian
revolutionaries.
The vast
majority of content applicable to the discussion of nihilism is
tangential which makes finding it difficult because often the
expected keywords are missing. In other words most of the
material of interest on nihilism is nihilistic rather
than just directly nihilism and thus much of the content
on this page falls into that category. Two pages the reader
should also view locally are

Fathers and
Sons, by Turgenev
It's a running narrative written in a typically Russian
way but not overly long. Turgenev romanticizes the role
of the Nihilist to create an entertaining novel.
The
Career of a Nihilist, written by Stepniak,
1890. This novel provides insight into the lives and
actions of the 19th century Russian Nihilist
revolutionaries
The Assassination
Bureau, Ltd, by Jack London. A good novel to read,
shows his nihilistic side.
|
Notes From the
Underground, by Dostoyevsky. A first person
exposition of life in (or at least near) the gutter.
And just about any
of Franz Kafka's novels although my personal favorite is
The Trial. The Trial is a neat book but it's
difficult to explain. It explores the irrational nature
of bureaucratic life in Kafka's uniquely phantasmagoric
style.
|
|
For a detailed examination
of the nature of nihilism and its evolution into the
'anti-Nihilist' archetype read Nietzsche's The Will
to Power.
God and the
State, by Michael Bakunin; where anarchism meets
nihilism. Sometimes rambling narrative covers religion
as slavery, science in society and other topics.
|
|
Also the works of
Soren Kierkegaard are good for a perspective on
nihilistic emotion, existential philosophy. The
biographical perspective may be as good or
better for the average reader. |

To get an idea of how Andy
Warhol viewed the world try The Philosophy of Andy
Warhol, by A. Warhol 1975. To me it was a little
frustrating to read because it barely scrapes the
surface of what he was really about, especially in the
nihilistic sense. But it's a good start.

For a detailed and
fascinating look at the nihilism and nihilists active within the
dada art movement as witnessed by one of the founding members
read Dada art and anti-art, by Hans Richter, Thames &
Hudson world of art, 1964, 2004 reprint.
Interested in
fiction? Read epic author H.G. Wells'
excellent novel
The Island of Dr. Moreau,
because the main character, Edward Prendick, becomes a nihilist
after enduring the harrowing terror of the island then escaping
and returning home to England. The endemic and chronic terror,
pain and fear of Dr. Moreau's island is an allegory for the
product of artificial law and technological progress
contradicting natural equilibrium which characterizes our modern
world.
Also, Wells' powerful short story The Country of The Blind
demonstrates the tenacity of self-limiting ideology or theology,
the force of social conformity and the futility of direct
argument with true believers blind to knowledge and reason.
"It may be beautiful," said Medina-saroté,
"but it must be very terrible to see."
Also:
-
H.P. Lovecraft, various
-
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, 1999.
-
Sylvia Plath -
“She
views death as an escape from the sadism of life." Sylvia
Plath was a tortured poet. Her story is an interesting one
because she had an almost perfect life in a physical sense but
the reverse was true in her mind. I especially like Mad
Girl's Love Song.
Incidentally here's two great
sources for books, the first is free and the second is very
affordable.
-
The
Digital Library has online texts free for
download, but personally I don't think the digital format is
that convenient to read in.
-
Which is why I prefer
Dover publications; many books are only a few
dollars, like Turgenev and Dostoyevsky for instance.
Pop Nihilism
The significance of art and music
shouldn't be underestimated. History has shown that the
beginnings of revolutionary movements are often preceded by
sympathetic artistic expression. That and since tragically few
read anything edifying anymore most contemporary nihilism is
audio or video based. Post-modern nihilism and pseudo-nihilism
alike is mostly cookie-cutter pop plastic but a few efforts are
worth mention even if for no other reason than because I happen
to like the product. Another page the reader should also view is
the art section titled
Beyond Recognition.

Jerry Jihad &
The Evildoers – Mine is Not a Holy War,
"Time to jump ship, Time to scream and
shout!" Mine is Not a Holy War is set of a
dozen Devo style protest songs from Gerald Casale
reincarnated as Jerry Jihad, a fictional caricature for the
21st century under George W. Bush. You may even notice that
two songs are remakes of Casale circa 1974-1977 (see
Hardcore Devo Volume II). |

Marilyn "shock is all in your head" Manson:
"When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and
everybody looks at things in a different way." |
Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed, 1975. Probably the
most controversial album ever released; it's not music but
it may well be a monumental work of dada art - or something
else entirely!
"... once you hear Metal Machine Music, it frees you
up. It's been done - now you can do anything."
- Reed |
|
Like Metal Machine, Hardcore Devo
Vol. 2 (1974-1977) by Devo is another great album
because the only commercial marketability either one has
today is due to the fact neither one has had any commercial
marketability in the past! There's a certain appeal to
things that are so different they can't be sold because
current audiences lack the context to assimilate them. |

Film & TV
Action & Drama:
Personally, the most
entertaining Batman remains Batman the Movie
(1966), and of course the television series of the same
time-period, now that’s hilarious fun! But when you get tired of
the laughs there's the 2008 film The Dark Knight (Blu-Ray)
for nihilistic mention. Dark Knight makes full use of the film
noir elements of contemporary Batman to make a dark and
intense action flick where the villain, the Joker, adopts
aspects of nihilism to act as an interesting foil against the
quasi-hero of Batman. Although the Joker is portrayed as a
criminal psychotic, by the second half of the lengthy film he
begins to explain his motivations and indeed much of the Joker’s
efforts are an attempt to show how foolish authorities are to
try and control every aspect of society, going so far as to
portray himself as an agent of chaos; “You
know, the thing about chaos? It’s fair.” At another point
the Joker sets fire to a mountain of the mafia's money
saying, “It’s not about money, it’s about
sending a message: everything burns.” The Joker points
out that the way people behave under duress is often radically
different than under typical circumstances, that civilization is
composed of tenuous and often illusionary elements that only
serve to mask true human nature. Of course the overall
presentation could easily be considered anti-nihilist because
the Joker’s character is intended as an emblem to be reviled,
nevertheless this fictional film clearly portrays how a ‘madman’
can shatter illusions and radically reorder popular assumptions.
Punishment Park
(1971) directed by Peter Watkins and shot in documentary style,
the film is set in the early 70s where Constitutional law has
been suspended and political ‘criminals’ are overloading the
prison system so Punishment Park in the desert is created as an
alternative. Convicted in a bogus court they race to reach a
U.S. flag in hopes of being set free while being hunted by the
police and military. This is a film that will spark discussion
on the issues of authority, politics, oppression, and violence
within society.
Daisies (1966) There’s
an enchanting personal attraction to any artistic creation that
is so innovative or outrageous that it defies categorization.
The 1966 Czech film Daisies directed by Vera Chytilova is
just that
and, not surprisingly, it is
considered a nihilistic film.
The two main characters, both bored young women named Marie,
conclude from what they see around them that the world is bad,
consequently they should be bad too and so they proceed to
engage in a series of silly and destructive antics. They date
older men just to get a free meal then ditch them on the train,
hold an existential discussion in a bathtub full of milk, and
mostly eat like messy pigs anywhere and everywhere with unusual
and creative film and sound techniques in between.
Daisies
is part Kafkaesque surrealism, part social commentary with a
comedic flair.
No Man’s Land
(2001) This movie came to my attention as recommendation from a
reader of NHP. It reveals the absurdity of events within
a civil war by placing both sides together, a Bosnian and a
Serb, trapped between lines. It’s a war film but with a very
distinct difference in that it criticizes not just a futile
conflict but all of the other participants as well from
peacekeeping forces to the mass media, while also challenging
the myth of political neutrality. The film doesn’t offer any
particular resolution to the basic problem but it does
poignantly demonstrate that once involved in a conflict there
may not be any practical way to get out, a message especially
germane to another civil war now occurring in Iraq.
Falling Down (1993) features the delightfully unappealing
Michael Douglas as one angry dude pushed way past his limit and set
against an inhospitable society. Leonard Maltin gives it two and
a half stars!
For a wild ride try David Lynch's
Eraserhead. It's intriguing, odd and you'll probably need
to see it twice. I would call it Kafka-esque but you might use
other words. But if that's too weird see the over-the-top movie
Diabolik, also titled Danger: Diabolik, from the 1960s.
Diabolik is like a nihilized version of James Bond who's sole
interest is self-enrichment and defying authority.
"This criminal paranoid [Diabolik]
seems to have dedicated himself to a one man fight against our
society!" The sex-scene in piles of money
is unforgettable, who says positive media role models don't
exist anymore?!
Shell-shocked film director Oliver Stone has had plenty of
misses and a few hits to his credit. The realistic Vietnam movie
Platoon (1986) and the misunderstood, not-so-realistic
Natural Born Killers (1994) are two films worth mention
here.
Oliver Stone in his own words (audio clip):
Natural Born Killers &
social hypocrisy
Trainspotting
(1996) directed by Danny Boyle is a satire that follows, in
graphic detail, the lives of a group of young grade-A fuck-ups
as they roller coaster through the dizzying highs and terrifying
lows of heroin addiction in Scotland. Trainspotting
reveals, perhaps unintentionally, the latent desperation for
context and the urgent need to feel something, anything, amidst
an absence of meaning in the synthetic, desensitized realm of
post-modern pseudo-existence.
A good indicator of a stereotypical nihilistic film or story is
one where all or most of the main characters die at the end.
Think of
Hamlet for instance, that’s a good example but just a
suggestion not a recommendation; never liked the guy
(Shakespeare). Instead watch the far more entertaining movie
Red Zone Cuba (1966), and at least the characters die
trying! See the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of
Red Zone Cuba (1997), it’s hilarious.
Documentaries:
An informative documentary worth
viewing is
The God Who
Wasn’t There by Brian Flemming (2005) DVD. Flemming is a
former Christian who realized that the contradictions and
overall absurdity of Christianity, and religion in general, are
simply too much to believe in. He goes on to explain the origins
of Christianity, how it became a myth through centuries of
elaboration, and that Jesus Christ may have never even existed.
The movie is only about an hour but the DVD extras more than
make up for it.
The historical recreation film Downfall (Der Untergang)
of 2004 is a vivid but bleak account of the chaotic final days
of Hitler and his staff and the insane behavior that inevitably
emerges from an authority structure where allegiance is based on
faith and unquestioning obedience.
A movie definitely worth watching
is called Baraka (1993). I think it has a nihilistic
quality in the way it tries to show things as they naturally are
without any overt bias or propagandistic twists. Baraka
is a very anti-Hollywood movie, it doesn't even have a script or
any kind of story arc, although certain elements are connected
inside the movie.
Mondo Cane 2 (1964) DVD,
meaning 'a dog's world' or 'dog’s life', in Italian. This film
features the same cynical narrator as the first film (1962) but
a more finely tuned production and of course even more extreme
human behavior, ridiculous religious rituals, fashion and
foolish fad, violence and stupidity; “...
the film tended to shatter values.” Mondo Cane 2
is a lot of low-budget entertainment, "holding
up the mirror to human nature at its most savage", but it
also presents a different, interesting, and unorthodox
perspective on the world.
Science Fiction:
Creation of the
Humanoids (1962) This is an obscure thought provoking film
addressing the fundamental human issues of memory, identity,
self-perpetuation, and physical form. Once you get past the
mushroom clouds and the comical robot history scene, the story
is that a brief but devastating nuclear war irradiates the
planet lowering the reproduction rate of humanity. Robots are
constructed to fill labor needs, become advanced to the point of
similar appearance and behavior, and then steadily overtake the
human population ... but things are not what they seem.
This is not an action film, it's mostly a talking film, but
nonetheless it has a fascinating quality to it, it is in color,
and it’s surprisingly intelligent considering the genre and the
time period. Who, or what, will replace you when you die?
Zardoz (1974). Although superficially a rather odd sci-fi
movie, Zardoz is one of my favorites and it has a pretty powerful message or at least it did
for me. It's about a future dystopia, knowledge, revolution and
some well-placed nihilistic destruction.
The Black Hole (1979) is a
sci-fi adventure but not in the all too typical phony
see-no-evil, everyone lives happily ever after way. The dark
atmosphere and serious tone set this film apart to make it the
most anti-Disney of Disney films. The nihilistic quality of the
film is evidenced by the fantastic slogan
"The journey that begins where everything ends." How
exciting to imagine an entirely new world on the other side
where all the rules in this one no longer apply! You may not be
surprised to learn this was a very influential film to me as a
kid.
The Black Hole borrows heavily from Star Wars and
2001 A Space Odyssey but it’s a kids film that’s
entertaining and sparks the imagination, it’s not meant to be
scientifically analyzed for technical errors.
Television:
For a different kind
of TV series watch Bullshit where Penn & Teller, being familiar with flim flam and
fakery themselves, use a blunt mixture of comedy and criticism
to illuminate the fraud and hucksterism of pop-culture's worst
excess' from end of the world beliefs and alien abductions to
phony medical cures and beyond.
Sledge Hammer! (1986) TV
series on DVD. David Rasche plays Sledge Hammer, a renegade cop
and self-described nihilist who talks to his revolver, uses the
wall of his apartment for target practice, drives to the scene
of the crime in a bullet-hole riddled car and generally acts as
destructive and over-the-top as possible. The series is
basically a spoof of the classic Dirty Harry / Magnum Force
rule-breaking cop films; it's hilarious thanks to dead-pan
delivery of Sledge Hammer lines like, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing," "I'm not afraid of anything ...
except world peace," and
"I'm a nihilist not a [hair]
stylist."

Nothing is more delightful than to confuse and upset people.
People one doesn't like. What's the use of giving them
explanations that are merely food for curiosity? The truth is
that people love nothing but themselves and their little
possessions, their income, their dog. This state of affairs
derives from a false conception of property. If one is poor in
spirit, one possesses a sure and indomitable intelligence, a
savage logic, a point of view that can not be shaken. From:

From Freydis:
The Nihilist says, I want to see things as they
really are.
The fact that reality is both consistent and
comprehensible is utterly devastating to philosophy.
Nihilism is where you go when you can't find anything to
believe in.
People respond to nihilism in different ways.
There is no natural evil, and no malicious intent
exists within the forces of the universe.
The will to live is biological; the will to die
is psychological.
The universe does not operate according to
human values.
People commit suicide all the time; being a nihilist is not a
prerequisite.
A Nihilist
does not 'believe' in nihilism because nihilism offers nothing
for anyone to believe in.
Life has no point, it’s pointless; life is a process not a
destination!
Nihilism: when everything is wrong and you
can’t find what's right.
Violence is a universal language.
Chaos is where the opportunities are.
Ignorance is
conservatism.
In this
dangerous world, intelligence and cunning are your only true
allies.
Absurdity is its own message.
The Nihilist mindset: Break it down, what do you get? Turn it
upside down, what sticks and what falls out?
Nihilism
is the organic, sensible response to artificial chaos.
Not even the healthy are safe in
a forest of disease.
It's often the case that the
answer you get depends on the question asked; perspective is
important.
Change is just another word for
opportunity; the creation of change is the creation of new
opportunities.
Until you think for yourself you
won't have control over your own life.
Every sunset is someone else's sunrise

Nihilism business card
design assortment - when words fail let the card do the talking
This consists of word.doc files that are pre-formatted for printing business size
cards on special paper that you can buy at the office supply
store. I recommend using card paper made for printing on both sides,
then you can put quotes on one side and the Nihilism or symbol
designs on the other. As a note the text, and especially the
images, can be difficult to get centered on the card because the
document's appearance does not directly match the printed
product. I've formatted everything as accurately as I can get
but depending on your printer settings and the type of paper you
use it might require slight adjustments.
