Quotes by Jeffery Nicholas (?)

“• Frank Herbert is a philosopher. • He’s a philosopher, not just in the way that everyone can have a “philosophy” of something or other, but an honest-togoodness philosopher, and he uses novels to construct and communicate his philosophy. • Herbert’s Dune saga is a work of philosophy that interacts primarily with the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and the way in which Nietzsche’s ideas about humanity could be understood in light of the horrors of the twentith century.”

“In 1690 in his An Essay on Human Understanding, John Locke explores what it is for a person to be self-same, that is to say, be one person and remain that same person over the course of time. Sameness of person is marked out by unity of consciousness. “Self is that conscious thinking thing,” Locke writes, “which is sensible, or conscious of pleasure and pain, capable of happiness or misery, and so is concerned for it self as far as that consciousness extends.” So, if an individual can, within their consciousness of the present, repeat the experience of a past action with the same consciousness they had of it originally, then the individual is the self-same person. In other words, can they remember it?”
