Frank Herbert's Dune is the biggest-selling science fiction story of all time; the original book and its numerous sequels have transported millions of readers into the alternate reality of the Duniverse. Dune and Philosophy raises intriguing questions about the Duniverse in ways that will be instantly meaningful to fans. Those well-known characters--Paul Atreides, Baron Harkkonen, Duncan Idaho, Stilgar, the Bene Gesserit witches--come alive again in this fearless philosophical probing of some of life's most basic questions. Dune presents us with a vast world in which fanaticism is merciless and history is made by the interplay of ruthless conspiracies. Computers have long been outlawed, so that the abilities of human beings are developed to an almost supernatural level. The intergalactic empire controlled by a privileged aristocracy raises all the old questions of human interaction in a strange yet weirdly familiar setting. Do secret conspiracies direct the future course of human political evolution? Can manipulation of the gene pool create a godlike individual? Are strife and bloodshed essential to progress? Can we know so much about the future that we lose the power to make a difference? Does reliance on valuable resources--such as "spice," oil, and water--place us at the mercy of those who can destroy those resources? When gholas are reconstructed from the cells of dead people and given those people's memories, is the ghola the dead person resurrected? Can the exploitation of religion for political ends be reduced to a technique? Philosophers who are fans of Dune will trek through the desert of the Duniverse seeing answers to these and other questions.Binding Type: Paperback

Got a black, size L. Great fit and length. So comfy. Perfect for everyday casual, or add some accessories to dress it up.

Cute but clingy
Size: X-Large, Color: Coral Orange
The dress is bright orange which I love. It is cute, very plain, true to size... but sadly not for me because the material is clingy and shows all my "chubby rolls". I'm returning it.

Great choice for prom
Size: 12, Color: Black Patent, Size: 12, Color: Black Patent
These dress shoes were a great choice for my son's prom. They fit true to size and were comfortable enough for him to wear all evening. I was especially impressed by how durable they were. Between all the dancing, walking around, and the usual teenage shenanigans, they held up extremely well and still looked great afterward. The style was perfect for prom, and the quality exceeded our expectations. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a sharp-looking, reliable pair of dress shoes for a special event.

Amazing dress shoes! 👞
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Classic Brown, Size: 12 Wide, Color: Classic Brown
These shoes are a 10/10! Our groomsmen loved them, very comfortable, and the color gradient is even better than pictured! They matched our groomsmen’s outfits perfectly as we got their entire outfit from Amazon. Water resistant and easy to wipe clean. The material is like a tough leather so it keeps its shape and has a professional and sleek appearance. Great value for your money! Would purchase again.

Good value and very clean stylish look.
Size: 9.5, Color: Classic Dark Brown
I REALLY like these shoes, for the price they are very comfortable and the materials seem pretty solid. I'm not an expert on quality stitching but these seem to be pretty good. I got them for my wedding and they looked fantastic. I now wear them to all sorts of fancy events and they are holding strong!
