In this video, we look at the politics of the Dune series by Frank Herbert through the lens of Ibn Khaldun, and in turn, we explore Ibn Khaldun's theories through the lens Dune. Ibn Khaldun was a 14th-century historian, philosopher, sociologist, economist, and "social scientist" more broadly. He is most famous for the "Muqaddimah." Through the lens of the Dune I and Dune II movies (and the Dune Novel series more broadly), we will explore Ibn Khaldun's proto-realist theory of religion, group power, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the cycle of empires. Enjoy!
