Paradoja del nihilismo

La paradoja del nihilismo se refiere a los aspectos contradictorios del nihilismo. Hay numerosas variantes de la paradoja.

Significado[editar]

De acuerdo con Hegarty, la "ausencia de sentido" muestra un cierto sentido.^[1]

Verdad[editar]

Luhmann construye la paradoja ya que conociendo el significado y sentido del nihilismo, consecuentemente solo lo que es verdad podría ser verdad.^[2] En un pie de página de su tesis, Slocombe iguala el nihilismo con la Paradoja del mentiroso.^[3]

Religión[editar]

Riva localiza la paradoja en el hecho de la "actitud conservadora del catolicismo" desarrollada como reacción al nihilismo de Nietzsche, que a su vez revela una forma de nihilismo como olvido forzado de la ambigüedad paradójica entre diferencia de la realidad y lo sagrado.^[4]

Teoría crítica legal[editar]

En el ámbito de los estudios críticos del derecho, los argumentos utilizados para criticar la posición centrista, también determina la posición de estos estudios.^[5]

Ética[editar]

De acuerdo con Bornemark, «la paradoja del nihilismo es la opción para continuar con la vida de uno mismo afirmando que no vale más que cualquier otra vida».^[6] Wright ve relativismo en la raíz de la paradoja.^[7]

However, if it is considered false, then no such paradox exists. Therefore, it is only when considered true that it creates a paradox, in much the same way as critics suggest that nihilism must be invalid for this very reason. Having now introduced this stronger formulation of nihilism, from this point on nihilism can be considered equivalent to the statement that 'This sentence is not true'. (footnote 110)».
