The term "nihilist" in literature has been used in diverse and often contrasting ways, reflecting both self-identification and as a pejorative label. In some works, such as Nietzsche’s discussions in The Will to Power, the term becomes a philosophical marker that encapsulates a profound rejection of traditional values and the search for meaning beyond conventional morality ([1], [2], [3], [4]). By contrast, in Russian literature, particularly in Dostoyevsky’s novels like The Idiot and The Possessed, "nihilist" is frequently deployed as a critical epithet—used either to condemn those who undermine established social orders or, at times, to reveal the internal contradictions of characters who simultaneously embrace aesthetic and existential ideals ([5], [6], [7], [8], [9]). Additionally, even in detective narratives such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s work, the label is used to denote notorious individuals, further illustrating its multifaceted role in literary discourse ([10]). The varied usage, sometimes ironic and sometimes earnest, underscores the complex interplay between nihilism as an abstract philosophy and its real-world manifestations.
