The University and the Presence of Educational Nihilism

We bring into question the idea of educational nihilism. For us, educational nihilism works against a university’s intellectual pursuits of a controversial kind. Any notion of educational nihilism is inherently flawed as it undermines any act of critical praxis. When nihilism works against any form of university praxis it seems rather unlikely that criticality and responsibility will be enacted on the part of university teachers and students. Educational nihilism will always bring a university’s intellectual pursuits into controversy. There cannot be any justification for educational nihilism that works against any form of legitimate university praxis.
