I don't think moral and philosophical conclusions are universal in any way. In fact, there's a lot of mismatch between our everyday modern morals and the ancient (or even recent) moral and political religious texts.

I do think there's universality of moral and philosophical questions. King Cyrus and #metoo debated the same questions. Plato/Socrates, René Descartes & The Matrix constructed story worlds to highlight the same epistemological problem (what if the world isn't real).

Good stories give you a richness of scenarios and questions to discuss, whether you agree or dissent to the author's conclusions.
