Talk:Nihilism/@comment-3338975-20120710015904

Ironically, Nietzche hated nihilism, and saw his philosophy as a way of overcoming what he saw as the nihilistic force of Christianity within history, along with its percieved side-effects in political liberalism and feminism (he was against women's sufferage and the freedom of speech for such reasons). And yet he is seen as the icon of nihililism by the present generation.
