[3] Particularly, it may regard the cosmos as distinctly hostile or indifferent to humanity. [100] It is often related to both epistemological and existential nihilism, as well as cosmicism.

Nihilism - Wikipedia

The etymological origin of nihilism is the Latin root word nihil, meaning 'nothing', which is similarly found in the related terms annihilate, meaning 'to bring to nothing', [5] and nihility, meaning ' nothingness'. [19] The term nihilism emerged in several places in Europe during the 18th century, [7] notably in the German form Nihilismus, [20] though was also in use during the Middle Ages to denote certain forms of heresy. [21] The concept itself first took shape within Russian and German philosophy, which respectively represented the two major currents of discourse on nihilism prior to the 20th century. [20] The term likely entered English from either the German Nihilismus, Late Latin nihilismus, or French nihilisme. [22] For all those who also find such entities queer ( prima facie implausible), there is reason to doubt the existence of objective values.Galimberti, Umberto (2008), L'ospite inquietante.
