Was Chesterton really a philosopher? A better alternative would be someone like John Stuart Mill.

Yes, Chesterton is considered to be a philosopher. As for The Who the best philosophers are, only the Church Catholic can make that claim

What philosophical works did he publish? The Church hated academic philosophy in the early days, so I don't see how it has a right to that privilege.

Heretics What’s wrong with the world? Orthodoxy Several others The Church didn’t hate academic philosophy, it created it. Surely you’re joking?

But they're mostly literary works that have philosophical themes but they're not themselves works of philosophy (same can be said for Homer and Hesiod). What? No, academic philosophy existed for centuries before Christ was born, and Church Fathets like St. Irenaeus and Tertullian

Explain to me how Chesterton’s works are not philosophy is they are philosophical in nature

Same reason why we don't count Homer's Iliad or Hesiod's Theogony as philosophical books. It's not academic philosophy and it doesn't explicitly purport to be.

I fail to see how the three works I mentioned are equatable to the Iliad, you do know how the books I’m referring to are written and or structured, yes?

They're works of literature, belonging to literary studies and not to philosophy.

I wasn't trying to be an intellectual so I can't be a false one.
