I don't think that inaction is the logical outcome of being a nihilist. It makes just as much sense to eat the sandwich as it does to do anything else and I'm hungry so I eat it.Bravo! The issue revolves around final ends. Because the value of limited ends depends upon their relationship to the larger end they serve. The nihilist is freed from ends. Considering how vigorously many naturalists deny the existence of final cause you would think they could recognize the tenaciousness with which they defend its place in their values system.
