Aldous Huxley: Major Works

This course examines the major works of Aldous Huxley as vital contributions to the emerging 20th century canon of modernism, internationalism, pacifism, spiritualism, and the psychology of consciousness. The course probes Huxley's writings in the context of evolutionary, secular thought, while also reading them as strivings towards models of world peace. This course is intended to be of importance to students interested in the intersections of 20th century British literature and non-Western philosophical and religious systems, as well as to students interested in an intensive study of one of the 20th century's most prolific authors.
