Nihilism
Is Moby Dick basically a nihilist novel? Any help for my research will be welcome.

Steve,
Read Jed Mckenna's "Spiritual Incorrect Enlightenment". That gives the first really intelligent perspective I've ever read. Steven. |

Nihilism
Steven,
A web site reveals McKenna as opposed to ego, ie, opposed to mind and values, ie, a nihilist, exactly like post-Kantian German liberals and the resulting Nazi and Marxist mass murderers. See Ayn Rand's _Romantic Manifesto_ for a rational defense of passionate values in art. Man's life is the standard of morality. SteveD |
