I’ve read nearly all of the most renowned philosophers (the ones whose thoughts we were able to preserve). Many of them in original language. Shakespeare is the greatest. He is so because he is the most profound investigator of forms who was also strong enough to not deny one ounce of life: Comedy and Tragedy.

I’m curious what makes Shakespeare a philosopher?

@khb @brownalytics Philosophy is the search for the whole truth, whereas things like Modern Science or History are actual types of truth (they are def true in some way, but are unable to ask themselves whether they are the whole truth) I think Shakespeare's primary work is searching for the whole truth of human life
