Criticism about Philip K. Dick

Philip K. Dick: Reason, Mind, and Being
http://scribble.com/uwi/br/pkd-essay.html
“…we can see that Philip K. Dick manages to reacquaint us with those forgotten aspects of ourselves that we have forgotten, and in a sense, create a human where a moment before there was only clay. Being is essential to empathy, and both are essential to being human. To stay human requires a sense of paranoia and creativity. Yet all these things temper and are tempered by our logical capabilities. We shift and alter in the continuum of humanness according to our context, yet to be human is a gift we who are so have earned.
