O ovoj e-knjizi
The Doors of Perception is a book by Aldous Huxley. Published in 1954, it details his taking mescaline in May 1953. The book takes its title from a phrase in William Blake's 1793 poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Huxley recalls the insights he experienced, which range from the "purely aesthetic" to "sacramental vision". He also incorporates later reflections on the experience and its meaning for art and religion. (Wikipedia)

O autoru
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and philosopher, renowned for his profound and often controversial explorations of society, technology, and human consciousness. Born into an illustrious familyβhis grandfather was the famous biologist T.H. Huxley, and his brother Julian Huxley was a noted biologistβAldous was steeped in intellectual rigor from an early age. Despite a severe eye disease that left him nearly blind in his youth, Huxley pursued a literary career with remarkable tenacity.Huxley's early works were characterized by their satirical edge and keen social commentary, but it was his later works that cemented his legacy as a visionary thinker. His dystopian novel "Brave New World" (1932) remains a cornerstone of speculative fiction, offering a chilling vision of a future dominated by technology and authoritarian control. This work, along with his essays and lectures, positioned Huxley as a critical observer of modernity, questioning the ethical implications of scientific progress and the loss of individuality.Huxley's interest in mysticism and psychedelic substances, particularly his experiments with mescaline documented in "The Doors of Perception" (1954), prefigured the countercultural movements of the 1960s. His advocacy for expanded consciousness and his critiques of materialism influenced a generation of thinkers, including Timothy Leary and the broader psychedelic movement.Controversial yet undeniably influential, Huxley's work continues to resonate, prompting readers to reflect on the complexities of human experience in an increasingly mechanized world. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of literature to challenge and transform societal norms.
