Geschiedenis
Philosopher, social critic, and author of books such as his most famous, «Brave New World», Aldous Huxley was born and educated in England and moved to the California in the 1930's. Becoming ever more critical of Western civilization and the dehumanizing character of technology, Huxley became drawn to Eastern philosophy and religion and to mysticism. Merton was influenced early on by Huxley though his book, «Ends and Means». Similar views on technology, Eastern philosophy, and mysticism appear in Merton's thinking, as well.
