  • Ingrid Dunér

摘要

As stated in the introduction, Huxley was interested in creating a new religion for the future. This chapter will focus more specifically Huxley’s early attempts to systematically formulate his “religion for the future,” venturing into questions of meaning making and the search for an alternative creed for the future. The chapter will also introduce the problem of the “human beast” and argue that evolutionism both raised existential issues and enabled new possible solutions to these issues.
