The Abolition of Man in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
Analyzing Huxley’s Brave New World is challenging. It is a novel more interesting for its ideas than its literary qualities.
But what is the main import of its ideas, aside from casting doubt on how satisfying a totalitarian government can be even if it caters to our lusts and manages life entirely?
I have used C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man to reglect on the questions that Huxley poses but does not answer.

Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciated.
Had to subscribe to your substack due to your Bloom treatment and understanding of materialism and its impact on true value. Can't wait to finish this one!
All the topics for which the professor says nevermind are the ones I want to hear more about.
Would you say that the problem with Huxley's Utopia is the lack of the goods that come with freedom and suffering? Or is it something more than that?

It’s their theological view, which informs their view of human nature
Great topic, but it was disappointing to see it reduced to Godwin's Law early on. The speaker is clearly a well-read man and can almost certainly do better than that.
