Literature is subordinate to philosophy entirely in terms of what it can say. While a story is confined to characters and settings, imagistic metaphors and the like, philosophy can just tell you what you need to know. Harold Bloom says Shakespeare is the greatest thinker. I have a hard time seeing how Hamlet is somehow more cognitively eye opening than Plato and Hegel.
