Abstract	Philosophy is a complex subject. This complexity arises from the way one comprehend the truth. There are many ways in the subject itself such as logical, analytical, and many other set of rules which gain the solution for its complexity. But, as philosophy gained its wings, there are certain schools that do not stick to this set of rules. Existential school of continental philosophy is one of them. Here, the philosophy is loosened up with fiction. Constructing philosophy through fiction makes it more effective as well as more apprehensible. Thereby, understanding philosophy tends be more simple. The paper discusses about the connection between philosophy and literature through one of the most famous works of the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, names, ‘The temple of the Golden Pavilion’. The philosophical elements hidden beneath the fictional lines of Mishima is been analysed and discussed and the importance is debated across the paper.
