EDITOR’S NOTE: While working on The Kingdom of Man and the Kingdom of God, Eugene Rose wrote the following as a separate essay. We present this essay here not only because it was written at about the same time as his chapter on Nihilism, but also because its theme ties in so closely with that of the present book. It offers profound insights into the absurdist philosophy that continues to grip the minds of many — minds already shaped by the nihilistic undercurrent of our times.
