Episode 22: Huxley on Love and Longing in the Dystopia

from Sacred and Profane Love

In episode 22, I am joined by the philosopher David McPherson, of Creighton University, to discuss Huxley's famous sci-fi dystopia, "Brave New World."  We discuss how technological progress can accelerate processes of dehumanization and how the loss of piety transforms how we experience love and desire.  Along the way, we bring in help from Nietzsche, Alasdair MacIntyre, Cora Diamond, Michael Sandel, and of course, Leon Kass. As always, I hope you enjoy our conversation.
