The black flame of active nihilism (an addendum)
(an addendum to “The Path of Destruction”)
Not long after I published my previous article, “The Path of Destruction“, someone reminded me about Renzo Novatore and his philosophy of anarchist active nihilism, with the suggestion of a link between Novatore’s nihilism and the Sadean motion of destruction. In retrospect, not discussing Novatore in that article turned out to be a glaring oversight. So I feel a short addendum is called for, but with perhaps with some additional Bataillean commentary regarding the nature of the sacred from his posthumous Theory of Religion.
