Aldous Huxley’s inquiries into divinity, being, and spiritual experience

Gathering twenty-six essays and other pieces, this volume presents Aldous Huxley’s sustained engagement with questions of God, enlightenment, eternity, morality, religion, and the nature of being. The selection frames spiritual life as both a personal concern and a force shaping human society, tracing Huxley’s search for a direct, clearly defined encounter with the divine. An introduction by religious scholar Huston Smith adds context to the collection. As an anthology rather than a single extended argument, it offers multiple entry points into Huxley’s religious and philosophical thought.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in religious philosophy and concepts of enlightenment
  • Those exploring Aldous Huxley beyond his fiction
  • Readers who enjoy essay collections on spirituality, divinity, and ethics

Book overview

"A genius . . . a writer who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine." -- The New Yorker

Brave New World author Aldous Huxley on enlightenment and the "ultimate reality."

In this anthology of twenty-six essays and other writings, Aldous Huxley discusses the nature of God, enlightenment, being, good and evil, religion, eternity, and the divine. Huxley consistently examined the spiritual basis of both the individual and human society, always seeking to reach an authentic and clearly defined experience of the divine. Featuring an introduction by renowned religious scholar Huston Smith, this celebration of "ultimate reality" proves relevant and prophetic in addressing the spiritual hunger so many feel today.
