I don't mean to base laws on wise sayings of the past alone but the imlementation and interpretation of the law should be in the hands of living wise people who know how to use the law for the advantage of the people.
Look at what happened to Muslims to base their laws on hadiths who are words of the prophet collected after many centuries after his death and then innocent people are stoned to death or millions of women are secluded and kept like prisoners in 4 walls of houses. Religion is for faith not for law.
Philosopher king was a theory of Plato but in practice this is politician who does everything. States, societies and individuals are in the hands of politicians not even political scientists.

That is the problem with some muslims who think by reading a few hadiths and verses of the Quran, they have become wise. Infact they are the the ignorant fools who have missed the purpose of Islam. Just because ignorant muslims who have not undrestood the message of Islam and have commited errors in applying the law doesn't mean the law is not sufficient.
Philosophers are the same fools as the politicians and other technocrats. Mere Philosophers are full of conjectures, they lack wisdom. Philosophers are themselves confused so how can they be kings and guide a nation? All they do is argue with lack insight and wisdom.
Wise people are above philosophy.
