Do you think a balance between Absurdism, Existentialism, and Nihilism mixed with a bit of Zen void and Carl Sagan’s skeptical, naturalistic view is the way forward?
Jack R. Ernest
From a therapeutic point of view, they overlap. Yalom's existential therapy would share themes with Absurdism and Buddhism. My own view is that nihilism can also be therapeutic, especially with regards overcoming the inherent narcissism that pervades modern day society.
