INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Friedrich Nietzsche was a philosophical nihilist who held that life has no meaning?

Unclear. Two reference works indicate Nietzsche treated nihilism as a cultural crisis he diagnosed and sought to counter, rather than a doctrine he held, but neither directly addresses whether he affirmed that life has no meaning.
