What are the best sci-fi/fantasy epics for exploring philosophical themes and asking the reader to think deeply about something, preferably without also spoonfeeding the "correct" answer?

What I've read so far
>Dune saga (probably the closest to what I'm looking for)
>LOTR, Hobbit and Silmarillion
>All the main ASOIAF books
>Dark Tower series
>First Foundation book (enjoyed it, but each chapter seemed a bit of a rehash of the previous one to me)

I'm considering The Wheel of Time but I read the first one as a kid and as I recall it's all pretty straightforward good guy/bad guy fantasy stuff
