Aldous Huxley: The Political Thought of a Man of Letters argues
that Huxley is not a man of letters engaged in politics, but a
political thinker who chooses literature to spread his ideas. His
preference for the dystopian genre is due to his belief in the
tremendous impact of dystopia on twentieth-century political
thought. His political thinking is not systematic, but this does
not stop his analysis from supplying elements that are original and
up-to-date, and that represent fascinating contributions of
political theory in all the spheres that he examines from
anti-Marxism to anti-positivism, from political realism to elitism,
from criticism of mass society to criticism of totalitarianism,
from criticism of ideologies to the future of liberal democracy,
from pacifism to ecological communitarianism. Huxley clearly
grasped the unsolved issues of contemporary liberalism, and the
importance of his influence on many twentieth-century and
present-day political thinkers ensures that his ideas remain
indispensable in the current liberal-democratic debate. Brave New
World is without doubt Huxley's most successful political
manifesto. While examining the impassioned struggle for the
development of all human potentialities, it yet manages not to
close the doors definitively on the rebirth of utopia in the age of
dystopia.
