The Educational Prophecies of Aldous Huxley: The Visionary Legacy of Brave New World, Ape and Essence, and Island

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.It offers profound insights into the educational forces and moral foundations of our society that shape us, both inside and outside of our schools.
