“反知性主義は、知性そのものに対する反感ではない。知性が世襲的な特権階級だけの独占的な所有物になることへの反感” “反知性主義―アメリカが生んだ「熱病」の正体“より孫引き

It is common knowledge that Frank Herbert’s classic Dune novels are chock-full of Islamic and MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) references.1 However, as a Muslim reader, I have long maintained that the Muslim influences go deeper than many may have realized. I am of the theory that if one is Muslim, or otherwise intimately aware of Muslim traditions, that person’s experience of Dune differs vastly from any other reader’s encounter with the saga.
