Albert Camus on Nihilism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 328 Nihilism/Sense/Revolte/Modernism/Camus: metaphysical revolt in modernism is an individual trait. The romantic revolt of the 19th century even lost itself in evil and concentrated on the individual. It does not come to responsibility or solidarity, because it lacks Brocker I 329 a positive content. Rather, it paves the way for nihilism, which for Camus was one of the essential forms of revolt in the 19th century. But the romantic revolt will not break its chains. In The Brothers Karamazov Dostoevsky propagates the radical nihilistic slogan that everything is allowed.
