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

When Mustapha Mond masks innate knowledge through hypnopedia, he forces the people into accepting a lesser reality. We see the unhappiness that is produced in characters like Bernard who are forced to struggle between the authoritative knowledge that he perceives to be true and the innate knowledge that keeps surfacing. He struggles with issues like free sex because his true form is in constant battle against the hypnotic teachings. Plato would say that denying people of the true and understanding that there is a higher realm leaves them doomed to a life of misery and doomed to repeat it in the next life.

While Plato would disagree with the Brave New World, the Sophists would have welcomed this world where bodily happiness and predestination are the norm. Nothing about the Brave New World would appear wrong to the Sophist because there is no absolute truth and therefore the Sophist cannot say that the Brave New World and its customs are wrong. The Sophists would disagree with Plato over his opinion of Bokanovsky's process, saying that if it is the custom of the people of the Brave New World, then who is Plato to knock it. Sophists believe that knowledge of ultimate reality is not accessible to humans, s
