“Nihilism—the belief that there is no Absolute Truth, that all truth is relative—is[...]the basic philosophy of the twentieth century: ‘It has become, in our time, so widespread and pervasive, has entered so thoroughly and so deeply into the minds and hearts of all men living today, that there is no longer any “front” on which it may be fought.’ The heart of this philosophy[...]was ‘expressed most clearly by Nietzsche and by a character of Dostoyevsky in the phrase: ‘God is dead, therefore man becomes God and everything is possible.’”
