| Summary: | The paper discusses two forms of contemporary nihilism. They are the replacement of meaning with explanation, and the replacement of purposeful theoretical explanation with purposeless praxis. Both forms are presented and discussed. In order to counter these two forms, adaptation to a nihilistic dimension must be avoided. To this end, the paper presents an interpretation of nihilism as “relational disorder,” and proposes the idea and development of a “relational humanity” as an antidote to nihilism of our age. |
