Nihilism is at the Core of the Israel-Iran Conflict — Not Nuclear Weapons
Posted on June 19, 2025 by Curro Jimenez

Nihilism, understood as the absence of a transcendental purpose, lies at the heart of the conflict that Israel initiated against Iran. But it is also what lies at the heart — the empty heart — of the West’s belligerent attitude. I believe it will also be the defining characteristic of the new nomos emerging from the decay of the US-led Western order. And that should worry us, because nihilism breeds violence.
