Topic: Baron Bodissey


  
  Baron Bodissey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The aristocratic philosopher Unspiek, Baron Bodissey, is a fictional character referred to in many of the novels of speculative-fiction author Jack Vance.
Within those novels he has the status of an authority (he is, so to speak, the Hume or Montaigne of Vance's imagined cosmos), though he is sometimes referred to with amusement or scepticism.
An overly zealous cultural anthropologist and ethnologist named Kalikari Stone, Baron Bodissey, working on a grant from the Historical Institute of Naval Research on the planet Riverain, appears in Hayford Peirce's 1989 novel The Thirteenth Majestral, a pastiche written in the manner of Jack Vance.

 Demon Princes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps Vance’s most memorable creation in this stratum of the books is the aristocratic philosopher Unspiek, Baron Bodissey, who lives only in the citations from his all-embracing six-volume magnum opus, Life.
(The Baron and his work are referred to in other Vance novels unrelated to the Demon Princes sequence: in his elusive person Bodissey is so to speak the combined Socrates, Aquinas, Montaigne, Hume and Nietzsche of Vance’s universe).
The novels take place in the Oikumene, which is a loose confederation of the civilized planets of the galaxy.

 Jack Vance
Bodissey's observations of the human condition are stated with such eloquence and rationality that I am convinced these are Vance's views as well.
Moreover, the Baron's views are also manifest in Vance's treatment of other human cultures throughout the body of his work (my favorite Bodissey quote: "To construct a society based on caste distinctions, a minimum of two persons is both necessary and sufficient.").
Unlike Baron Bodissey, Navarth is an active and important character in the story in which he appears.
