Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World :Ignorance and Failure to Recognize the Purpose of the Human Spirit

Abstract

ordinary breakthrough in science as a never ending pool of knowledge . People facing the 21st century are trying to determine whether these new realities of life will enhance it and bring life as they know it to a great unprecedented level , or if these new products will contribute and perhaps even cause the destruction of society and life . This concern is reminiscent of the horror that is found in Huxley’s fictional utopian world where the dehumanizing of man occurs in the interests of the “Community , Identity , Stability “ the world state’s motto . Huxley’s Brave New World (1932)shows that in order for a utopian society to achieve a state of stability , a loss of individuality , and the undoing of Mother Nature must occur . The successful engineering of these conditions produces a world where people are finally living “ happily ever after” but at a great cost .Huxley’s description of a futuristic society that replaces freedom and morality with the false obsession of identity and physical pleasure is the painful price that society would pay when the needs of progress deny the identity of human beings and consider them as valueless in comparison with the importance of machines .
