Ep. 215: Brave New World: PEL Live 10th Anniversary Show

from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

On Aldous Huxley’s 1932 dystopian novel, recorded at Manhattan's Caveat on 4/6/19, with audience participation. If we harness the power of society to employ available technologies to really focus on making people happy, what would the result be? This is Huxley's thought experiment, but is it in all respects a dystopia, and is it a fair test of the ideal of social improvement or merely of a flawed view of human nature?
