The
irrationalist point of view, especially that of
Nietzsche, claims that life has no
untimate goal or
higher purpose.
Life is an
abyss of
chaos, one must look into the abyss and find the meaning of one's own existence. It is a very personal experience.
"When one looks into the abyss, the abyss looks into you."
Essentialy one must give up the easy answers offered by
religions and realize that there is no
structure to life, it is
entropy. One then can one be free enough to determine their own purpose. Most people can not do this, the few who can are said to have the
will to power. The rest adopt a
slave morality, that is they try to fit themselves in to the molds carved out by those with the will to power.
A popular saying by theists is, " 'God is dead.' -Nietzsche ; 'Nietzsche is dead.' - God." This is simply poor logic.
