I think his thoughts are crucial to anarchists, but he doesn't carry much weight in anarchist theory. The religiosity of his thoughts also prevent him from being talked about much in anarchist circles, thanks to rationalists knee-jerk reaction against anything esoteric and spiritual.

I think a philosophical life matters. It makes us deeper, not necessarily better. I mean by that that philosophy can cultivate our capacities to experience the world, enriching how we value, enjoy, suffer, understand ourselves, and relate to others.
