Moral Nihilism

[kragura]

Can someone on here give me a quick summary of what a moral nihilist believes? thanks.

[ContrarianLemming]

Moral Nihilists state that their is no such thing as right or wrong outside of artificial constructs we have created

It basically takes "subjective morality" to it's extreme.

I happen to be an Existential Nihilist, morally I'm a Utilitarian sorta. And this aint for chit chat, I want rep!

Do they still uphold it as a good thing though? because if so I might be one. I agree that morals are social constructs but they are still one of the most important aspects of life.

Nihilism proposes that you cannot believe anything which cannot be proven. So in the case of morality, you cannot prove that morality exists.

No, you cannot ground the content of moral codes in the emipircally observable world.
That is altogether different from proving that morality exists.
