The mystical and transcendent experience that followed set him off on an exploration that was to produce a revolutionary body of work about the inner reaches of the human mind. Huxley was decades ahead of his time in his anticipation of the dangers modern culture was creating through explosive population increase, headlong technological advance, and militant nationalism, and he saw psychedelics as the greatest means at our disposal to ""remind adults that the real world is very different from the misshapen universe they have created for themselves by means of their culture-conditioned prejudices."" Much of Huxley's writings following his 1953 mescaline experiment can be seen as his attempt to reveal the power of these substances to awaken a sense of the sacred in people living in a technological society hostile to mystical revelations. Moksha, a Sanskrit word meaning ""liberation,"" is a collection of the prophetic and visionary writings of Aldous Huxley. It includes selections from his acclaimed novels Brave New Worldand Island, both of which envision societies centered around the use of psychedelics as stabilizing forces, as well as pieces from The Doors of Perceptionand Heaven and Hell, his famous works on consciousness expansion.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 137mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 268gAuthor: Aldous HuxleyContributor: Cynthia Palmer (Edited by), Michael Horowitz (Edited by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
