Nihilism seems to crop up a lot in Russian literature. Is there a reason in particular? *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 09/10/2012 04:15:18 AM
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

What stories make strong arguments against (or for) nihilism? Burr - 08/10/2012 06:20:25 PM 1154 Views
Turgenev's Fathers and Sons is a quintessential story about nihilism. *NM* Tom - 09/10/2012 01:00:02 AM 289 Views

It was in part a political movement. See Dostoevsky's Demons (aka The Possessed). Tom - 09/10/2012 01:49:24 PM 670 Views
