nihilism has 1 distinct synonym spread across 1 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a revolutionary doctrine that advocates destruction of the social system for its own sake
the delusion that things (or everything, including the self) do not exist; a sense that everything is unreal
complete denial of all established authority and institutions
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for nihilism come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
