Huxley : (1) Thomas Henry (1825-95), British scientist renowned for his defence of Darwinism which he accepted with some reservations. (2) Aldous Leonard (1894-1963), grandson of Thomas Henry, friend & disciple of D.H. Lawrence, wrote novels, essays, biographies, & travel books.
... Darwin Sect A new idea has to assert itself aggressively to stay alive and develop. Four in the vanguard of the defence of Darwin’s idea were Thomas Huxley, Charles Lyell, Joseph Hooker and Asa Gray. They were known as “the four musketeers.” Huxley, the fearsome fighter and passionate supporter of scientific naturalism, was called “Darwin’s bulldog” and “the Apostle of Unbelief,” which needs no c... anti-religious. McCalman’s recent book Darwin’s Armada confirms this contention in a surprising way. Darwin, Hooker and Huxley had, all three of them, been sea-going explorers for years and thus shared, in Huxley’s words, “a masonic bond in being well salted in early life.” Huxley “longed for science to be seen as a moral calling greater than any religion. … He and Hooker had effectively become joint... of the history of Darwinism became still more outspoken by the foundation, at the initiative of Huxley and Hooker, of the “X Club”, which was thought of as a caucus or ring. Their aim was “to substantiate Darwinian evolution and turn Victorian Britain into a scientific [and atheistic] society.” “Huxley wanted the introduction of a scholarly and ethical form of science, open to merit; he wanted the ...
... biological materialists?" We have made an admiring reference to Simpson, author of The Meaning of Evolution, and to Julian Huxley who wrote Evolution: The Modern Synthesis, as two of the ablest biologists with a materialistic penchant. Well, what do they have to tell us? Huxley, summing up his attitude in an essay on evolution in his Man in the Modern World, says that most of the results of evolution... co-ordinated self-preservation the essential of life. Joseph Needham too Page 230 has often expressed his opinion that the central problem in biology is "organizing relation." Julian Huxley is aware of this no less. But when we have put aside the notion of character of constituents and concentrated on organization we have not yet emphasised the entire differentia of the living. ... christened "organizers". They were found markedly to affect development. The most outstanding name here is the German embryologist H. Spemann. Looking at Spemann's work as well as at that of others, Julian Huxley predicted in 1933 that in a short time the organizing powers of a living thing would be reduced to a chemical formula and stored in a bottle. It seems, however, that the short time has not yet elapsed ...
... matter taken by the biologist Julian Huxley in one of his neo-materialistic declarations. He denies any gap in the continuity of physical processes. According to him there is no special vital principle injected into material phenomena nor is there a break in them at which we can say "here mind appears" or "there personality enters"; all is development of matter. But Huxley rejects what he calls the old ... refute this theory. Scientifically it is refuted by all the essays already written in our series. The "facts" to which Huxley appeals are no such absolute "facts as conceived by him. It is in a mood of dogmatism that the theory is said to be scientifically the most adequate. And Huxley himself in his other writings can be made to show up the dogmatism of it. In The Uniqueness of Man he has admitted... of behaviour which marks them as something more than mere automata. A strictly objective view of the matter would favour the first hypothesis; the second obviously admits subjective criteria." But Huxley goes beyond even the first hypothesis. To him mind is co-extensive with matter. And it is co-extensive not as a subtle state of matter itself but ^ something irreducible to matter since science has ...

NIRODBARAN: Y told him what you had said to me that Huxley might have had some experience in the mind. To this, Z replied, "People interpret in their own way what Sri Aurobindo says." SRI AUROBINDO: I don't remember what exactly I said. It may have been to the effect that Huxley had some... their business. You can no more say that Science is turning towards metaphysics from Jeans' example than that fiction is becoming yogic from Huxley's. NIRODBARAN: The point about Huxley seems as follows: Y told Z that Huxley had undergone a great change, becoming a Yogi and having spiritual experience. Z denied it, saying, "What is there of Yoga here? It is all mental."; Then Y spoke of Huxley's experience... principle of oneness with everybody. Huxley speaks of "dark peace" because it is down below that he goes and from there opens to the Light above. All the details are quite recognisable, and they cannot be a mental construction. This experience must have changed his life. EVENING Sri Aurobindo saw in the afternoon that Nirodbaran was reading the extract from Huxley. SRI AUROBINDO: Have you read ...

... its new formula of “ genetics plus natural selection.” And there was Julian Huxley (1887-1975), who in his person integrated and symbolized this whole scientific upturn. It was his influential book Evolution: The Modern Synthesis (1942) that gave the movement its name. It was he, grandson of the famous Thomas Huxley and brother of Aldous, the writer, and Andrew, Nobel laureate for medicine, who... UNESCO, starred in BBC programmes, supervised the production of nature films and won an Oscar for one of them.

For him, progress was embodied in the evolutionary... hailing the founders of population genetics and the modern synthesis.

Collected Works of Nolini Kanta Gupta - Vol. 2 Aldous Huxley: "The Perennial Philosophy" THIS latest work of Aldous Huxley is a collection of sayings of sages and saints and philosophers from all over the world and of all times. The sayings are arranged under several heads such as "That art Thou", "The Nature of the Ground", "Divine Incarnation",... Wisdom has an introduction called "The Song of Wisdom" which begins with this saying from the Book of Wisdom: "We fight to win sublime Wisdom; therefore men call us warriors".

Here it is: "The touch of Earth is always reinvigorating to the son of Earth, even when he seeks a supraphysical... outward-turning activities, but a transformation of them so that they become sacramental." The neatness of the commentary cannot be improved upon. Only with regard to the "ironical ring" of which Huxley speaks, it has just to be pointed out, as he himself seems to understand, that the "we" referred to in the phrase does not mean humanity in general that 'splashes about in the lower ooze' but those ...

What he established may not have been democracy in the sense of government by the masses, but it was democracy in the sense of government by the middle class, the bourgeoisie.

But things are never like that: they don't move in a perfect way. If Napoleon had not come ...

What people try to make out of Huxley and Gerald Heard is that theirs is a confession of defeat and that they on their part want to escape from the world. It is not really this, as Isherwood has pointed out in the New Statesman . He says that what he understands from Huxley and Heard is that they want to discover a way to change the present human con... right, but Marx's Dialectical Materialism is the last word."

To which Heard replied that he didn't advocate fatalism at all. Nor is there any fatalism in Buddhism.

Hitherto people have worked on the principle of opposition and indifference. That can only make a patchwork solution. Behind the multiplicity and ...

Aldous Huxley makes the character who is his own mouthpiece in After Many a Summer tear Robert Browning to shreds for setting up what may be called a religious cult of sexual love instead of looking at things as Chaucer did in a purely physical and animal-human light. Huxley says that to idealise and romanticise sex is to put an extra barrage... love-tinctured animality was a highly desirable thing and that the state of mystical blessedness was merely an intensification of the state of happy and poetic-mooded marriage! In my opinion, Huxley oversteps the mark. Browning does act silly at times; yet it is not true that for the mystic in man the Chaucerian mentality has less obstacles than the Browningesque. In the former we have a sharp ...

LSD and the Mind of the Future 1 Extraordinary experiences by the use of drugs: this issue has been growing ever livelier since 1954 when Aldous Huxley conducted experiments on himself and wrote on the consciousness-changing effects of Mescaline.

A study of the sense- impressions of the poet, the painter and the musician discloses striking parallelisms with the vision of object and... powers.

Psychedelic Drugs: The well-known novelist and writer Aldous Huxley did some personal experiments on the effect of the drug mescalin, and claimed in his book The Doors of Perception that in suitable doses this drug 'changes the quality of consciousness very profoundly'. Huxley took his pill of mescalin sitting in his study and facing a vase of flowers. After half an... these flowers became transfigured and gave him mystical vision. Huxley's attention was then drawn to a wooden chair in the room, which also shone with inner light.

Possibly Darwin too "saw" the truth in the instance of which Sir Julian Huxley spoke some years ago in a broadcast: "Darwin... in Ch. 4 of the Origin of Species explains at some length why natural selection inevitably produces diversification (and in his autobiography records... the universe." Again, Science, unless it wishes to emulate the dogmatic materialism of the nineteenth century, cannot be pledged to a mere reduction of life and mind to matter. The biologist Julian Huxley tells us: "materialism, according to which mind is 'a function of the body (matter) and depends upon it completely' ... is an easy thesis to demolish." And Haldane himself admits: "the biologist must... recently the palaeontologist-cum-priest Teilhard Page 28 de Chardin has scientifically argued, from man's biological "uniqueness" and from the "convergence" of mankind (two facts which Huxley even has stressed), for a collective Superconsciousness not solely as an evolutionary terminus leading to a union with God on earth — "Omega Point" — but also as evolution's original impetus derived ...

It must become a religious belief.” Julian Huxley will write in 1936: “Once all the consequences of evolutionary biology will be found out, eugenics will inevitably become part of the religion of the future.” And Julian Huxley, president to be of UNESCO, “will write in 1941, at the moment that the Nazis in their experimental gas chambers...

To quote Lawrence, "1 tell it to... death, a Cyclamen, a Crocus flower Of windy autumn when the winds all sweep The hosts away to death, where heap on heap The leaves are smouldering in a funeral wind." Aldous Huxley writes of Lawrence, "Of most other eminent people I have met I feel that at any rate I belong to the same species as they do.

Swinburne, as is well known, could never think of Victor Hugo without bursting into half... many of them, flagrantly prejudiced and personal. The only thing that results from Aldous Huxley's opinion, shared by many but with less courage, is that Spenser's melodiousness cloyed upon Aldous Huxley and that perhaps points to a serious defect somewhere in Spenser's art or in his genius but this does not cancel the poetic value of Spenser.
