One who rejects reality or embraces destruction (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nihilist

(Other definitions for nihilist that I've seen before include "Person who rejects all moral and religious principles - nothing really exists" , "One rejecting authority, values" , "One who rejects values" , "Revolutionary" , "One rejecting all values, belief in existence etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
