Abstract

The article comments on the depiction of nihilism as an antidote to the search for meaning and purpose in the book "The Sunny Nihilist" by Wendy Syfret. According to Syfret, nihilism free individuals from the commercialised searches for meaning. It points out the importance of meaning to humans including the nihilists. Also explained is the role of meaning in fulfilling the desires and questions of people about identity, origin, destination, existence, evil, and relationship with others.
