In episode 22, I am joined by the philosopher David McPherson, of Creighton University, to discuss Huxley\\u2019s famous sci-fi dystopia, \\u201cBrave New World.\\u201d\\xa0 We discuss how technological progress can accelerate processes of dehumanization and how the loss of piety transforms how we experience love and desire.\\xa0 Along the way, we bring in help from Nietzsche, Alasdair MacIntyre, Cora Diamond, Michael Sandel, and of course, Leon Kass. As always, I hope you enjoy our conversation.
