The main conflict in Foundation is character vs. society. "It is unfortunate, but true. The Commission has been more and more hostile to his activities." (Asimov, 23) This shows that the conflict of this book is character vs. society because Hari Seldon, a famous mathematician and historian is being arrested and later exiled by the society of Trantor because of his activities and projects he conducts in the college.
