Voltaire vs. Rousseau

culture of critique. it's about one mans battle to expose a jewish plot to undermine western civilisation, definitely one of the more provocative reads out there

>>9944527
>culture of critique
in other words you're a retard who just reads the latest meme books instead of searching out knowledge yourself.

>>9944524
The best part is how they're buried opposite each other in the Panthéon.

Bret Easton Ellis and David Foster Wallace

>>9944549
in other words you haven't read the best contemporary book about the ills of our society and claim that anyone that has is retarded

Quevedo and Gongora. They wrote really hurtful poems and sonets to each other.

>>9944522
That time when Hemingway beat up Wallace Stevens

>>9944522

Dostoyevsky and Turgenev

>that one time Nabokov exhumed and raped Dostoevsky's corpse

Vargas Llosa and GGM.

>>9944522
Vidal vs. Mailer
Twain vs. James vs. Poe
James vs. Wells
Conrad vs. Lawrence
Keats vs. Byron (though that was mostly one-sided)

John Dryden and Thomas Shadwell.
The two argued about their differences in opinion on comedy through writing, all culminating in a mock epic poem depicting Shadwell as the master of poetic dullness.

Hemingway and Faulkner
Oe and Mishima.

Neither got physical but they'd get into it through words.

Mein Kampf vs. The Torah

Ambrose Bierce vs. everyone

2Pac vs Notorius

When Stirner destroyed Marxism before Marx even dreamed it up and made him so butthurt that he wrote an invalid diss track longer than Stirner's entire oeuvre and still remained blown the fuck out.

kind of old school classy rap ?

>>9944617
This. Two of the best poets of the Spanish golden age. How fucking magnificent is that.

Socrates vs Aristophanes

Though it ended in a lopsided win for Aristophanes

>>9945612
Aristophanes was ahead of his time. He believed in non-binary genders.

>>9945474

How did he destroy Marxism? All I know is that he wrote an average critique of bourgeois ideology and really bad piece on the historical process.

>>9944522
Nietzsche vs. The Rest of the World

Bukowski vs. Burroughs

Camus vs Sartre

>>9945683
>All I know is that I suck mad cock and am confused by personal finance
You gotta keep that shit to yourself cockboy

>>9946138
did Sartre kill Camus?

>>9945204
Mishima's one interaction with Dazai was often retold by Mishima. He went to one of Dazai's party's with the intention of being a "literary assassin". He went with a friend to a filthy upstairs Ginzai room where they were drinking cheap sake, the whole thing would have added to Mishima's silent disgust. When a lull in the conversation opened, Mishima spoke "Mr. Dazai, I hate your work". After a brief silence, Dazai casually remarks to the person at his side "I know he loves me really, otherwise he wouldn't be here". Mishima couldn't respond, probably because there was truth in it

The two were very good friends but it wasn't until Sartre advocated for the USSR endless slaughter of millions that the two no longer saw eye to lazy eye.

Diogenes vs pretty much everyone

>>9944629
Do we really know why this happened? It seemed like Dosto and Turgenev were good buds and then Dosto decided to nuke the whole thing.

>>9946171
Basically at the time Camus "grew up", Sartre was trying to be like the younger, more politically vocal and idealistic Camus. The manifestation of this that people usually cite is that Camus started to really sour on the whole communism thing right while Sartre was trying to claim it. This spread to other intellectual areas and Camus became resentful of being lumped in with Sartre as an "existentialist."

Melville v. Hawthorne is pretty good. Read any late Melville to see it.

>>9945098
>Vidal vs. Mailer

>On December 15, 1971, during the recording of The Dick Cavett Show, with Janet Flanner, Norman Mailer allegedly head-butted Vidal when they were backstage.[93] When a reporter asked Vidal why Mailer had knocked heads with him, Vidal said, "Once again, words failed Norman Mailer".[94]

lol

Aristophanes v Socrates is way funnier. Also a lopsided victory for heavy-weight champ Aristophanes

>>9945612
I only know that Aristophanes BTFO Socrates in The Clouds and that Socrates was whining about it in Plato's "Trial" but is there anything more?

>>9947494
Not that I know of. The Clouds just kills me every time. Shat on by a lizard...

>>9947476
>>9945612
Don't know why, but I thought this said Aristophanes vs. Euripides. Also pretty lopsided...

>>9947472
mailer btfo

>>9945045
Is this the one where Liosa decked GGM or the opposite? Good choice

>>9945612
Aristophanes didn't btfo anyone. Athenian pleb crowds enjoyed cheap laughs about an outlier they couldn't understand.

>>9947168

It was a political/ideological clash. Turgenev's sensibilities were proto-revolutionary, and Dosto (post-exile) was strongly the opposite. Fathers and Sons and Demons are the flashpoint of their conflict

>>9944522
Marx vs Stirner
Karl was so assblasted by Ego and His Own he dedicated a chapter of German Ideology to "Saint Max"
