Abstract
We and our world are caught in the last period of nihilism. The remarkable point is the durability of this situation, and that the time for the end of this situation is unclear. The concern of this article is understanding the nihilism, especially its last kind, understanding of the nihilism in order to provide the possibility of the thinking about the conditions of the liberation from that. For this purpose, we should understand three kinds of nihilism: negative, reactive, and passive; Understanding these three kinds, especially its last kind, which is the property of the present situation. For the explanation of this step of nihilism, we will resort to a Nietzschean-Deleuzian concept and then try to transmit the affective aspect of this concept to the reader in order for the necessity of the liberation from our nihilistic situation to be sensed affectively. At this point of the analysis, the argument is ready for thinking to the next step, which proceeds by understanding the distinction between the last step of nihilism and the condition of liberation from that. Therefore, the trajectory of the article is like this: explanation of kinds of nihilism: 1) negative. 2) reactive. 3) passive. 4) and the liberation from nihilism.
