ニヒルと挑戦 ― 虚無主義をめぐって

In this episode, I explore the relationship between nihilism and challenge from a philosophical and personal perspective. Nihilism often appears as a defensive attitude—rejecting meaning, effort, and ambition to avoid the pain of failure. Reflecting on my university days, I discuss how cynicism can become a shared escape from vulnerability and growth. Drawing on Nietzsche’s idea of creating values beyond nihilism, I argue that real strength comes from facing meaninglessness and still choosing to act. While nihilism may feel safe, it ultimately produces emptiness. True vitality emerges when we accept risk, confront uncertainty, and create our own sense of meaning through action and lived experience.
