Belief became a weapon for Hari, and soon, the Foundation also utilized that weapon to propel its advancement through the four kingdoms. Hari Seldon knew that people would have never followed him to Terminus if they did not believe that they were going to save humanity. However, Hari leveraged the belief people had in him as a mathematician and psychologist and used it to lead almost 100,000 people to Terminus, which is a planet and a part of the unique vocabulary in the book ‘Foundation.’ Religion and belief are the primary themes of ‘Foundation.’ In the story, the character of Hari Seldon tells Gaal that the only way to save humanity from the threat of a dark age is to build a foundation that would create the Encyclopedia Galactica. With the story focusing on the rise and fall of an Empire, its themes tend to the delicate nature of human interaction with society and the role politics and the want for freedom play in creating and destroying society. ‘Foundation’ is a novel that presents itself with themes that tune with the human mind and its society.
