This chapter begins by tracing the most relevant biographical events after Huxley’s move to the USA in 1937, focussing on how the events during and shortly after the Second World War shaped his political philosophy. Central to his criticism is his defence of individual freedom and democracy as its guarantor, both of which he continued to see jeopardised by nationalism, war, and improved technologies of control in the hands of the power elite. The most important texts in this context are After Many a Summer; Science, Liberty and Peace; Ape and Essence and his reiterated warnings against the “enemies of freedom” in Brave New World Revisited in 1958.

摘要

This chapter begins by tracing the most relevant biographical events after Huxley’s move to the USA in 1937, focussing on how the events during and shortly after the Second World War shaped his political philosophy. Central to his criticism is his defence of individual freedom and democracy as its guarantor, both of which he continued to see jeopardised by nationalism, war, and improved technologies of control in the hands of the power elite. The most important texts in this context are After Many a Summer; Science, Liberty and Peace; Ape and Essence and his reiterated warnings against the “enemies of freedom” in Brave New World Revisited in 1958.
