"Shakespeares Philosophical Theatre: Plays and Poetry for all Seasons" Summary of Chapter 3 featured in "The Delphic Podcasts" by Michael R D James: Season 15 Episode 4

 T S Eliot did not believe Shakespeares work to be Philosophical because of his view that Religion and Philosophy shared an intimate relation which the Ancient Greeks did not believe was the case. The Ancient Greek Gods praised what is just more than what was holy and the trinity of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were in agreement. Our Western Christian Religion views mans soul as flawed with sin, requiring the worship of of a Superior Being which in the eyes of many modern Philosophers may be merely a figment of our imaginations given the lack of belief in one universal God.http://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
