Techne in a Brave New World by Huxley, an essay about the ballance of technology and humanities - with referances to Brave New World and different articles

        Technology is defined as using the entire body of science, methods, and materials to achieve an end. Technology, or techne, is so preoccupied with weather it can, it never considers if it should. In 'Of Techne and Episteme,' a article on technology and humanities, the author Eddy warns us that a society without epistemological thinking would lead to a society of 'skilled barbarians.' This is the topic of the novel Brave New World …

…for society and gain, no different than the 'skilled barbarians' of Eddy's warning.         I feel that Eddy's beliefs are supported by Huxley's novel Brave New World. Without humanities, Huxley's future thought only of the end and not of the means, there was no concern for life and each life lacked individuality. I think the most unnerving part of this is I see many similarities between Brave New World and the present and today's social tendencies.
