Abstract Works of Literature since its history have been harbingers of certain thoughts and notions even before they got their formal expression among the scholars of philosophy, and such a revelation shouldn't come as a bolt from the blue given the primary intention with which the Literary works have been getting disseminated has throughout been an accurate depiction of the human nature and philosophy entails nothing more than an inculcation of the wisdom that surrounds not just the physical existence in particular but even the inner arenas of our minds, hence despite both of them being distinct fields of study, a linkage between both the disciplines wouldn't be entirely nebulous so to speak. While philosophical feuds and repeated debates are aimed at being overly scrupulous about the distinction among certain philosophies, the exploration of which is beyond the scope of our current discourse, Human mind with all its complexities is capable of forming convictions resulting of both homogeneous and heterogeneous philosophies simultaneously. The notions and incitations underpinning the thought patterns of Nihilism and Stoicism, with both philosophies being poles apart in the timeline considering their formal propositions, are usually found to be in reciprocity despite their seemingly contradictory premises as is evident in the works of authors who inadvertently had depicted an interplay of both, being oblivious to the odds of a scholarly feud among their conformers.
