"Brave New World” & “On Liberty” : A 5 page essay which
attempts to see the world depicted in Aldus Huxley’s “Brace
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. bravelib.wps
