Reader's note

Thirty years after a Brave New World was published, Aldous Huxley asks these questions; What would be the character of a liberty-loving society dedicated to the proposition that its members ought to be helped, as far as possible, to actualize their desirable potentialities? On the levels of philosophy and psychology, of family life and social organization, in relationto reason and teh passions, to sex and spritiuality, to love and death to words and immedtiate expericent, what, in such a society, would have to be done?’People’, says one of the characters in this Utopian phantasy, ‘are at once the beneficiaries and the victims of their culture. It brings them to flower, but also it nips them in the bud or plants a canker at the heart of the blossom. Might it not be possible, on this forbidden island, to avoid the cankers, minimise the nipings, and make the individual flowers more beautiful?
