Philip Dick, Man In The High Castle - Nobusuke Tagomi Of The Trade Mission - Sadler's Lectures

from Sadler's Lectures · host Lectures on classic and contemporary philosophical texts and thinkers by Gregory B. Sadler

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle It focuses specifically on one of the most central characters in the work, one who arguably provides the most consistent moral perspective throughout the novel, Nobusuke Tagomi, who is a Trade Mission official in the Pacific States of America. He is a person who values ethical action and intentions, and who is repulsed by the evil he sees the Nazis engaged in throughout the work. Tagomi also relies upon the Oracle (the Book of Changes or I Jing) throughout the narrative, but is also able to act upon his own when he considers the possibility of the world being abandoned by it.
