"Community, Identity, Stability": The Scientific Society and the Future of Religion in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
Congdon examines the ways in which Aldous Huxley's novel, Brave New World, can be seen as a text that reflects the writer's positive views of eugenics. He also identifies areas of overlap shared with Julian Huxley's What Dare I Think?; in particular, Brave New World response to Julian's call for a "world controlled by man", his belief that such a world will require preservations for "strange human beings", and the potential for the use of advanced pharmacological substances. Of greatest interest is the way in which Brave New World responds to Julian's belief in a biological "religious emotion". When the novel is read with Julian's thought in mind, it shows that the religion of Aldous's planned society--Fordism--is the specific site of critique in Brave New World. Read alongside What Dare I Think?, Aldous's novel is a preemptive critique of the type of belief systems which might be mobilized to make the society of the future possible.
