About this listen

"He who controls the spice controls the universe." Frank Herbert's Dune saga is the epic story of Paul, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and heir to the massive fortune promised by the desert planet Arrakis and its vast reservoirs of a drug called "spice." To control the spice, Paul and his mother Jessica, a devotee of the pseudo-religious Bene Gesserit order, must find their place in the culture of the desert-dwelling Fremen of Arrakis. Paul must contend with both the devious rival House Harkonnen and the gargantuan desert sandworms—the source of the spice. The future of the Imperium depends upon one young man who will need to lead a new jihad to control the universe.

Dune and Philosophy recruits twenty-three philosophers to sift wisdom from Frank Herbert's Duniverse, including the first of an expected series of films following Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides and his descendants, captivatingly brought to the big screen in 2021. Substantial yet accessible chapters address philosophical questions including:

- Is it morally right to create a savior?

- Would interplanetary travel change human nature?

- In conflict, how can you stay light years ahead of your opponents?

- Does history repeat itself?

mind-blowing

love "Dune"? Read this book, than again, and again. Take notes, and take action in life. "The Dune" universe is much more than a novel. It's a philosophical life lesson on the human condition. And this amazing analysis breaks it all down. 10/10. Unbelievable work 💪.
