The uncanniest specter of nihilism manifests itself in at least five facets that have been seriously influencing Western thoughts,history,society,and individuals.Nihilism as a negative philosophy has long dominated Western discourse practices,leading to ideological attacks against each other and the absence and silence of the others;Nihilism as an ideological movement permeates the history of Western modernity,driving Western civilization towards various dangerous situations,such as the decadence of life,the utter forgetfulness of Being,and the Holocaust;Nihilism as a mental state imprisons the life attitudes and the will to act of Western individuals,causing the social systems that lead to this form of nihilism to become increasingly rigid;Nihilism as a force of opposition relies solely on the self-reliance and self-overcoming of Western individuals,which,paradoxically,leads to the perpetuation of the nihilistic system;and Nihilism as a self-negating philosophy no longer always claims to be the sole truth or denies the rights of others to exist but learns to respect the otherness of others,thereby fostering a world of plurality and harmony.
