Philosophical implications and questions raised by Dune are grouped into five categories: Ecology, Politics, Ethics, Self, and Heroism.

The following sections on criticism are listed according to the dominant thematic focus of the essays, starting with Biology and moving alphabetically to Space and Appropriate Technology. Three of the articles listed here are from Grazier a cited under Anthologies of Essays on the science of Dune , and one is from Nicholas a also cited under Anthologies of Essays on Dune and philosophy.
