Sažetak
The article deals with the similarities and diff erences in Nietzsche’s and Buddha’s experience and interpretation of nihilism as a starting point of “philosophical thinking”. They share the same “ feeling” that the whole traditionally understood structure of existence is based on a wrong and dangerous assumption about mind (soul, self, substance, etc.) as a legislator that refers to some solid, closed and “ideal” world of ideas, values, etc., and which thereby opposes the existence to the world as it really is. Nietzsche’s nihilism and Buddha’s “suff ering” as a total symptom of existential rebellion against unappropriate, i.e. opposed to the world as it is, mode of being, is resolved by invoking an ambiguous “Yes”to the world (will to power) in Nietzsche, whereas Buddha explores the inner possibilities of existence toward the “change of stream” of obsessive mode of being which is fed by “the thirst for being” and which produces various forms of clinging to beliefs, ideologies, systems of values and other forms of nihilism.
