#3 apogee

Not to be a nattering nabob, but shouldn't that be "nadir?"

#4 This is the apogee, the quintessence of the nihilism that originated in the West back in the 19th century. It took on different forms, and finally reached its highest point.

From that, it seems apogee is appropriate. YMMV

#5 If the writer wants the highest point, then yeah.

But an apogee is just a nadir with the poles reversed. So you’re both right. :-)

#7 The Russian says apogee (апогея).
Nihilism will reach its nadir when we hang Secretary General of UN alongside European Commission president

#8 After a fair trial, of course, Grom. Possibly with a glass booth, like Herr Eichmann.
