Avoiding usual suspects. In philosophy, it's perhaps the cave trilogy by JN Findlay. V. interesting philosopher. He was an apartheid apologist and a full-on racist who effortlessly managed to bridge his love for Hindu philosophy and Giovanni Gentile's doctrine via Hegel and Platohttps://twitter.com/mcrumps/status/1257300127913566208 …
Simon, have you read him? His work on Kant and the philosophy of mind is criminally underrated. His more personal works like the cave trilogy are interesting but they veer too much toward his brand of mysticism.

No, not at all. Obviously curious. It would be interesting to hear your account of what goes wrong, for him. Is it the mysticism? Or the rationalism?

Mysticism, that's where things usually become hazy such that Asian mysticism converges the doctrine of fascism, a very bloated reading of Plato's Republic and Hegel's Philosophy of Right. This also happens with British Idealists but in a far lesser degree.
