Economics
From the dynamic capitalism of the Polesotechnic League to the abundant production of Thule (also Thulean Economics).
Politics
Debates in the Ysan Council and the Dennitzan Shkoptsina.
Religions
Both human and alien.
I should not use this blog as a personal pulpit but I can link to another blog about Religion and Philosophy, e.g.:
I will shortly add a new post on "My Pantheon."
Later: My Pantheon: The Nine.

Kaor, Paul!
Because, unlike some writers like Asimov, Anderson took varied kinds of religions, real and fictional, seriously. I think we get enough hints in many stories to conclude that there was one faith he disliked, Islam.
A bit oddly we never really see Islam in the Technic series. People in that timeline know it exists and some characters have Muslim seeming names, but that is all. Convinced Christians, Jews, and Buddhists are what we see most of.

In most times and places, religion was very important. Including places you might not expect -- for example, pagan Roman Emperors spent a -lot- of time conducting religious rites.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
I knew that, both from reading history and your book TO TURN THE TIDE. Mention being made of how, as Pontifex Maximus, Marcus Aurelius was conscientious about his duties as high priest of the State's cult.
