A Theoretical Perspective on Heidegger's Critical Thought of Nihilism
Heidegger is one of the earliest thinkers to dissect the roots of nihilism.Heidegger sharply points out that nihilism is the inherent law of Western civilization,concealed within Western metaphysics,the foundation of Western civilization.As Western civilization spreads,nihilistic elements proliferate,ulti-mately leading humanity into a state of rootlessness,where homelessness will become the world's des-tiny.In order to resist the consequences of nihilism brought about by Western civilization,Heidegger advocates a movement of re-enchantment,which unfolds through dimensions such as the re-enchant-ment of things,the re-enchantment of people,and the re-enchantment of the world.Heidegger's thoughts are profound and compassionate,reflecting the sentiments of a great thinker who empathizes with humanity's plight.In the ongoing spread of nihilism today,we should pay attention to Heidegger's voice.
