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.

haha it's so much less clear than sports... Different people would give you very different answers. A few I've heard: Plato vs. Aristotle Hegel vs. Nietzsche Plato vs. Kant (My claim that shakespeare is a "philosopher" appears to be very unconventional, though I dont see why)
