The nihilist vs. The political activist; Camus & Sartre or Nietzsche & Marx...
The nihilist, like a biblical prophet who has drunk so deeply of the banal darkness of everyday life that he can only mutter imprecations...
The political activist, who chooses immersion in history rather than silence, and for whom ambivalence over the question of the nature of good and evil, of love and murder, is suppressed in favor of political commitment.Two rebellions :: The rebel with a choice between metaphysical rebellion(revolt against God) and historical rebellion(political revolt).
...which exists in rebellion against absolutes; against religious absolutes(the death of God) and against historical absolutes(the death of ideology)
- [The Possessed Individual] by Arthur Kroker,1992
