Aldous Huxley

Aldous Leonard Huxley  (26 Juli 1894– 22 November 1963) adalah penulis, filsuf Inggris, dan anggota keluarga Huxley yang cukup terkenal.

Dia dikenal atas novel-novelnya seperti Brave New World yang berlatar di London era distopia , buku nonfiksinya seperti The Doors of Perception yang menjabarkan pengalaman setelah mengonsumsi obat psikedelik, dan serangkaian esainya, serta novel dengan tema serupa berjudul Island (1962). Pada awal kariernya, Huxley menjadi penyunting majalah Oxford Poetry dan menulis cerpen dan puisi. Ia kemudian menulis catatan perjalanan, cerita dan naskah film. Ia menghabiskan separuh akhir hidupnya di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat, sejak 1937 sampai meninggal dunia. Pada tahun 1962, setahun sebelum meninggal, ia diangkat sebagai Companion of Literature oleh Royal Society of Literature.

Huxley adalah seorang humanis, pasifis, dan satiris. Huxley kemudian tertarik dengan hal-hal spiritual seperti parapsikologi dan mistisisme filosofis, khususnya universalisme. Menjelang akhir hidupnya, Huxley diakui secara luas sebagai salah satu intelek berpengaruh pada masa itu.
