Plato vs. Brave New World

In response to Mustapha Mond’s claim that his world has been created to fulfill the real needs of human nature, Plato would respond by saying that he adamantly does not agree. The Brave New World empowers and celebrates the body and the human condition. In this celebration, the goodness of the soul and the truth and knowledge that the soul possesses is trapped in a useless body. Bokanovsky’s process, hypnopedia, soma and free sex all contribute to suppressing the innate goodness of the soul.

The beginning of life in the Brave New World is in Bokanovsky’s process. Plato would agree with this process to a certain extent because it eliminates the unnecessary earthly ties that humans share with their parents. Plato might not object to the sets of twins because it helps remind them that their bodies are not unique, helping them to see the body more clearly as an object, but their alikeness could cause them to think of themselves as having the same eternal unchanging form. However, the factories that pump out babies are simply mass-producing prisons for human souls and Plato most certainly would not agree with this.

Plato would have been disgusted by the next sage, hypnopedia. Hypnopedia
