MediaDB / «Dune and Philosophy: The Way of the Mentat" by Jeffrey Nicholas: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2021 / The inquisitive mind of a journalist and the curiosity of Frank Herbert gave the world a surprisingly thoughtful and multi-layered novel, which received the title of classic of science fiction literature. The writer's varied interests - Jungian psychology, graphology, diving, aviation and ecology - contributed to the incredibly complex and bizarre world of Dune. And the problems that worried Herbert half a century ago turned out to be more relevant than ever in the modern world. To understand the full depth of the novel, you will need fundamental knowledge in the field of more sciences: ecology, philosophy, history, ethics, religion and linguistics. This book will help you understand the philosophical aspects of the Dune Universe and will allow you to understand the intentions that the author put into it.
