Joyce is the greatest novelist

>pessosa
autism

>Pessoa is the greatest poet
Dante, bastard.

why not homer

Jordan Peterson

I'm sure you read all of The Capital

This but unironically

Plato

You can't say joyce is the greatest writer if he only wrote three intelligible novels one being really good one being trash the other being decent. Finnegans Wake doesent count. put someone else difficulty does not equal good

Wasn't fast enough for my liking, but at least someone put it up

>Joyce is the greatest novelist
That would be Tolstoy
>Shakespeare is the greatest playwright
His plays aren't good as plays, it's the poetics.
>Montaigne is the greatest essayist
alright he's one of a few possibilities
>Pessoa is the greatest poet
lol
>Borges is the greatest short story writer
ok

>Baudrillard is the greatest cultural critic

lmao Hegel doesn't even get Heraclitus correctly.

>zero propositions beyond one
classic Yea Forums

Camões is greater than Pessoa.

Dante, Homer and Pound are greater than the two.

>Pound
>great in any way

>greatest philosopher
Definitely Aquinas. Anyone who has a different answer in this thread is just misinformed

>Jorge Luis Borges is seriously overrated by this board. He lulls you into thinking his metaphors (the library, the labyrinth, the dagger) have substance by using them in every single one of his stories. They are often unenlightening and used only for flare. His stories can be a good introduction to philosophical ideas, but so is actually reading philosophy. The actual ideas that he "explores" are not complex at all but when he writes 20 stories in a row about a labyrinth people are tricked into believing it.

O. Henry

You obviously don't realize the sorcerous aspect of Pessoa's compulsions. I would put him as the greatest philosopher as well.

sorcerous means bad

Aristotle, Hegel or Nietzsche

maybe if you are a spooked christcuck I guess

>>Borges is the greatest short story writer
not even the best short story author from Argentina, let alone ever

Shut the fuck up you illiterate piece of trash. You've never ready anything past the wikipedia page for the wake and it shows.

KEK
Thanks anons you (or should I say OP) made me piss myself laughing

Only good answer ITT. If Shakespeare is the greatest playwright, Plato is the greatest philosopher

Based!

i've only read volume one
but if i read all three volumes i can claim to be a marxist and write books about capitalism

>short story writer
you mean short storyist

cringe, this is what happens when you take the Yea Forums pill seriously Joyce was trash and narcissistic he overestimated his abilities because he made one good book, which inturn made him beleive he can create the ultimate prose filled book but ended making a cluster fuck of shit that got published soley because he ghosted literary circles for 20+ years this really was because he new he coudent make anything better than Ulysses so in one quick year he wrote a shit prose book that made no sense LOL! Also hes a shit munching low iq irish fart sniffin cunt
