is it possible that Keats is the greatest philosopher the West has ever produced?

look up his idea of "negative capability," as well as his explanation of the chambers human life. It's just a brilliant way of thinking through the way that a human being ought to exist in relation to the finitude of cognition

the ideas we make up in our minds can be followed by our minds; the feelings we have in our hearts are put there by Nature and they begin and end in darkness and mystery.

It's a shame he couldn't develop his philosophical ideas more because of how early he died. He may have unironically become an important thinker.
