Notes
- . The American College Dictionary does give as one definition of nihilism “a belief that there is no objective basis of truth.” It seems evident to me that Rue has gone beyond this restricted denotation.
- . To be fair, I should say that Rue does not say that he approves of the contents of Plato's Noble Lie. But I find it strange to try to justify the methodological use of a lie by so heinous an example.
