fiction can reveal high dimensionality truths that are hard to capture in a scientific lens a book like Crime and Punishment can "teach" you about the psychological damage of a guilty conscience, the limits of rationality, the dangers of isolation and ideology, the need for humility, and the possibility of redemption it'd be hard to find a single non-fiction book that could deliver all that in a way that you feel it in your stomach

I don't have a need to 'feel' ideas. But I understand why others do. Check out Popper's work, especially The Open Society and Its Enemies. It covers most of the things you mentioned.
