- <p>This paper posits that nihilism, an inquiry necessitated by the conditions of modernity, has not<br>been philosophically "resolved" but rather rendered "obsolete" by the advent of artificial<br>intelligence (AI) and the precipitous decline in verification costs. By tracing the intellectual<br>genealogy from Nietzsche’s diagnosis and Kitaro Nishida’s Eastern response to the lineage of<br>American Pragmatism, this study reconstructs the historical trajectory through which these<br>philosophies were operationalized. Specifically, it examines how the collision between W.<br>Edwards Deming’s rationalism and Japanese empirical mysticism within the Toyota Production<br>System (TPS) eventually converged with Agile development. This paper clarifies that the<br>epistemological shift from "believing" to "verifying" dismantles the paralyzing premise of<br>nihilism, establishing pragmatism as the necessary framework for constructing meaning<br>through iterative action in the post-nihilistic era.</p>
