Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a novel published in 1932 that predicted the future of humanity. Building on Plato’s Theory of Forms and his political idea of philosopher kings, Brave New World demonstrates how the utopia of Plato’s Republic can be implemented in practice. The main purpose of this thesis is to apply Wittgenstein’s philosophy to show that the utopian World State that exists in Brave New World can end only in failure. Wittgenstein’s counter-argument to Plato is that awakening, not utopia, is the only way to save the world.
