	Albert Hofmann: LSD, My Problem Child · Meeting with Aldous Huxley

	Aldous Huxley

	Aldous Huxley - An Anti-Darwinist Criticism
		"Aldous Huxley once let the cat out of the bag when he said, in response to a question about the origins of modernism, that it began not in the minds of intellectuals but in their wills: they needed to come up with an intellectual system that would give them permission to behave licentiously.
		But continuing to trot out Aldous Huxley (who by the way was NOT an atheist), and Dawkins as though they proved the rule, ignores the genuine spectrum of opinion out there concerning Darwinism, I.D. and creationism.
		And Aldous' chapters on "Religious Practices," "Beliefs," and "Ethics" argued in favor of a meaningful cosmos and a universal spirituality that Aldous said was reflected in the works of certain Eastern mystics as well in the works of some famous Christian mystics.

	What happened to Aldous Huxley by John Derbyshire
		Huxley was not a humorless man, as the early novels and short stories amply testify, and the lighter essays occasionally confirm.
		Huxley had, in fact, a well-developed sense of the absurd, and that conviction—I always associate it with G. Chesterton, though it is of course more widespread—that the universe is radically weird.
		Huxley described himself as “by temperament extremely anti-social,” but he was not anhedonic, and the pleasure he took in art, literature, close friendships, and the ordinary processes of life, are plain to see in his writings.
