Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong. Right is right, even if nobody is right.

Fulton J. Sheen

Moral nihilism that is also known as ethical nihilism is a dimension of meta-ethics that asserts the absence of morality. According to the underlying posit of moral nihilism, moral truths are fabricated, and they do not exist in real-life perspective, and therefore, no certain actions can be classified as right or wrong. Moral nihilism implies the extreme faade of moral skepticism and addresses cognitive and non-cognitive approaches. However, a myriad of philosophical propositions dejects the notion of moral nihilism altogether. The renowned philosophies of Aristotle, Thomas Hobbes, and the philosophy of innate morals are convincing and viable reasons to affirm the falseness of moral nihilism.

In 1651, published Leviathan, written by Thomas Hobbes, presented arguments against the moral nihilism in a pretty persuasive manner. Hobbes delineated that in the absence of perceived moral framework, all the humanity will encapsulate by peril in a milieu of every individual in himself. In due course, Hobbes stressed that in order to rebuff the impacts of the law of the jungle it is indispensable to pursue a moral archetype. Prior to the devising of ethical social and legal models, people used to live in a hostile world that compelled them to obey a normal state of humanity, in which the rule of war and anarchy was superior to any morality. In order to tackle the unfathomable chaos, people developed laws and systems that underline the significance of mutual social conditions and the notion of common good through which all humans in the community are supposed to sacrifice egocentric inclinations to share the benevolence with all others.

Similarly, in 4th century Aristotles publication named Politics explicates that man is by nature a social animal, and in this regard, it is evident that an individual has to live with others till his demise. Therefore, being a social animal, all humans have to exert their endeavors to recognize the basic requirements of others to support the existence of society. Most of the behaviors that sustain and retain the societal benefits on the reciprocated level are implicitly or explicitly interconnected to morality in contrast, the nonexistence of moral aesthetics is hazardous for society. Again here comes the archetype of the common good that binds political, social, economic, and ethical benefits of the civilization and is an integral element of morality.

In this context, the philosophical ideologies of religions, including Buddhism, believe that human beings come into this world with some attributes at birth, and morality is one of them. Therefore, some people do not get affected by their surroundings, external attitudes, or behaviors of their parents because they are born with innate moral tendencies. However, several refutations are proposed to argue with inherited morals because it is studied that morality is something an individual develops over the life span and is not subject to be permeated from birth.

To put it briefly, the overall conception of moral nihilism is absurd both from a societal and philosophical prospect. The difference between good and bad is eternal, and the foundation of the universe is established on the same impression remember the idea of Yin and Yang. The universe is created in balance and relays the infusion of different opposite forces in its making and existence. Take the instance of black and white no one can rebuff the existence of these colors even if they are not apparent because they made the existence of other colors possible. The same formula implements on right and wrong, bad and good these forces always exist, co-exist, or surpass each other during the mundane rut of life. And phenomenally, such evident dimensions cannot be overlooked through any moral nihilism philosophy.
