Huxley's 'Brave New World' vs. Mill's 'On Liberty'
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay which attempts to see the world depicted in Aldus Huxley's 'Brave New World' through the eyes of John Stuart Mill based upon his work entitled 'On Liberty.' For Mill, what has been lost in Huxley's utopia is individual freedom and expression. Mill argued that the danger of society is that the majority denies liberty to individuals, whether explicitly through laws, which he calls, 'acts of public authority,' or more subtly through morals and social pressure, which Mill calls 'collective opinion.' The writer of this essay believes that upon entering the brave new world, Mill would criticize it harshly for having denied liberty through both of these methods.
