Dune and Philosophy

The inquisitive mind of the journalist and Frank Herbert's curiosity gifted the world an amazingly well-thought-out and multilayered novel, which has been classified as a classic of science fiction literature. A series of diverse interests of the writer – Jungian... psychology, graphology, diving, aviation, and ecology – contributed to the incredibly complex and whimsical world of Dune. The issues that concerned Herbert half a century ago have proven to be more relevant than ever in today's world. To fully understand the depth of the novel, fundamental knowledge in a greater number of sciences is required: ecology, philosophy, history, ethics, religion, and linguistics. This book will help to understand the philosophical aspects of the Dune Universe and allow for an understanding of the intentions that the author embedded in it.
