I’d rather read the metaphysical meandering of a Muslim king than the rational idealism of Hegel or the emo bs the existentialists cooked up. Worshiping ones own intellect is a fatal trap too many philosophers have fallen onto. Aquinas was a solid guy considering his situation, nothing bad to say about him though I thought he referenced the republic a few times
