  Abstract:  The place of philosophical and theological nihilism in the historical evolution of culture. The history of thought reveals us the succession of the great historical-cultural Eras, as well as the succession of many phases starting with the first representatives, hardens itself through the humanistic preoccupations foreboding the appearance of the great systems, a climax that is then followed by the decadence of a sterile school that ends in the eclecticism and relativism of a transition. The changes in the contemporary Europe confront us with the reality of a qualitative leap that characterises a time of transition of what we now call Modernity towards another civilisational paradigm. But in the process of values inversion and the chaos of transition, the seeds of the new cultural entity leading towards revival appear and it seems that history repeats itself. The civilisations inevitably embrace nihilism, contesting its own values that lifted them on the peaks of progress.
