The visionary legacy of Aldous Huxley is as relevant today as ever.
Huxley possessed a sober understanding of the human condition as
well as an inspired vision of the human potential. This volume
presents an interdisciplinary examination and appreciation of
Aldous Huxley's three visionary novels - Brave New World (1932),
Ape and Essence (1948), and Island (1962) - to reveal the extent to
which Huxley's prognoses into our possible futures was prophetic.
The author assesses each novel to reveal the foresights that define
our current educational, social, religious, political, and economic
institutions, while also exposing our conflicts within those
institutions. This volume examines the educational, cultural and
technological changes that have shaped our society since Huxley's
work, with special reference to the enduring legacy of educational
philosopher John Dewey. It offers profound insights into the
educational forces and moral foundations of our society that shape
us, both inside and outside of our schools. It is the first of its
kind to focus exclusively on all three of Huxley's visionary novels
and detail their relevance to our world today.
