nihilism

a revolutionary doctrine that advocates destruction of the social system for its own sake

“The term Nihilism is also applied to those philosophical systems which sweep the course clear of all incredibilities and irrationalities, but leave us bare of all our inherited spiritual possessions.”

— P. Austin?- Nuttall, The Nuttall encyclopædia

“Weil had great influence on his philosophy, since he saw her writings as an "antidote" to nihilism.”
