(Goel) </pre> <p>In a Huxleyan irony, a Briton taught an Indian how to be a Hindu, although not a modern ritualistic Hindu, rather, the Vedantic, mystical Hindu.

For the moment though, there was Better Books in Charing Cross Road, which lovingly wrapped new slim volumes of poetry in cellophane, where one bought a curiously titled book, torse 3; and from this little temple to high culture one walked across the street to Partisan Cafe, the popular haunt of New Society liberals, and became engaged in Huxleyan discussions; there was, for the moment, the nice democratic illusion that the high and the low could coexist.

the quest for a restatement of morality that shall be in harmony with modern knowledge and adapted to the fresh functions imposed on ethics by the world of today." This Huxleyan vision of a UNESCO-stimulated "morality" gained new momentum during the 1990s (during the period it was supposedly undergoing reform), with the help of radical theologian Hans Kung and former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev, the "Butcher of Afghanistan."

It is my belief that the new program of education reform through standardized testing contributes to the Huxleyan vision.

Arnold confronts this philistine attitude with his variation on the Huxleyan image of nature's "definite order": [W]e may trust to the instinct of stir-preservation in humanity for keeping Greek as part of our culture" (10: 71).

In the 1970s the future was presented as a wasteland, ruled by a faceless, inhuman social order which, in Huxleyan fashion, has deprived man of his rights and spirituality.

Kozol, even more than Postman, understood that the ultimate extension of TV technology would be not the simple passive-receptive viewer entranced by whatever happened to be "on" at the time, but the burgeoning--now triumphant--technology of interactive TV: the video game, the computer-enhanced curriculum, and the soon-to-be-perfected "virtual reality."
