Abstract

The nihilistic devastation is due to the destruction of all the foundations considered rigid throughout the History of Philosophy. Faced with the rubble, humanity falls, helpless, into the abyss, which opens into new abysses, in a descent that never ends, towards a bottom that never reaches, towards the hole of nothingness. We opened the article with the anthropomorphization of God with Feuerbach and then, with Nietzsche, we announced the death of God. Finally, we will use Dostoevsky to contextualize the discussion about nihilism in Tsarist Russia.
