In The Experience of Nothingness, Michael Novak has two objectives.
First, he shows the paths by which the experience of nothingness is
becoming common among all those who live in free societies. Second,
he details the various experiences that lead to the nothingness
point of view. Most discussions of these matters have been so
implicated in the European experience that the term "nihilism" has
a European ring. Novak, however, articulates this experience of
formlessness in an American context. In his new introduction, the
author lists four requirements that must be met by an individual in
order for the experience of nothingness to emerge: a commitment to
honesty, a commitment to courage, recognition of how widespread the
experience of nothingness is, and a virtue of will. Novak writes
that these principles are what guide self-described philosophical
nihilists. But many people simply borrow the nihilistic conclusions
without observing the moral commitments to them. For this reason
Novak believes that nihilism is fraudulent as a theory intended to
explain the experience of nothingness. Nihilism in practice, he
maintains, often results in a form of intolerance. The Experience
of Nothingness is a work that will cause many scholars to rethink
their beliefs. It should be read by philosophers, theologians,
sociologists, political theorists, and cultural historians.
