'''[[Nihilism]]''' is a family of [[philosophical]] views. [[Existential nihilism]] asserts that life is inherently [[Meaning of life|meaningless]] and lacks a higher purpose, suggesting that all individual and societal achievements are ultimately pointless. [[Moral nihilism]] denies the objective existence of [[morality]], arguing that moral evaluations and practices rest on misguided assumptions without any foundation in external [[reality]]. [[Epistemological]] forms of nihilism challenge objective [[knowledge]] and [[truth]]. Some versions argue that these phenomena are [[Relativism|relative]] to the perspectives of individuals or cultural contexts, while others [[Philosophical skepticism|deny their existence altogether]]. Cosmological nihilism is the view that reality is unintelligible and indifferent to human understanding. [[Metaphysical nihilism]] holds that there is no fundamental reason for [[Why is there anything at all?|why something exists rather than nothing]]. Nihilism is also described as a broad cultural phenomenon or historical movement that pervades [[modernity]] in the [[Western world]]. {{TFAFULL|Nihilism}}
