Dear researchers,

I am excited to announce the launch of my second independent research project, Existential Threats of Nihilism. This interdisciplinary collaboration aims to explore nihilism from various perspectives, highlighting its multidimensional nature, existential threats, and ways to turn ontological challenges into optimistic opportunities. This project will run for approximately four to five months, depending on the number of participants and other factors. Meanwhile, my first project, The Essence of Knowledge Initiative, is still ongoing. This project will include 3 or more participants, including myself.

Project Outline

The goal of this project is to coauthor research articles on existential threats of nihilism based on participants’ disciplinary perspectives. Topics may include the meaning of human existence, philosophical dilemmas, and responses to nihilism. Each article will have three coauthors—myself and two other researchers. If more participants join, additional three-person coauthored articles will be formed. While each article will have a dedicated team of three, all participants will engage in weekly activities, such as research-based analysis and academic discussions. Insights from these activities may also lead to new research papers and presentations. Coauthored articles will be published on ResearchGate, and if possible, in an open access peer-reviewed journal. The program will be held asynchronously, allowing flexibility in terms of different schedules and time zones.

Participation Criteria

Doctoral researchers, PhD holders, professors, and a limited number of Master's holders regardless of disciplinary background, are welcome to participate.
