"奥威尔害怕的是那些强行禁书的人,赫胥黎担心的是失去任何禁书的理由,因为再也没有人愿意读书;奥威尔害怕的是那些剥夺我们信息的人,赫胥黎担心的是人们在汪洋如海的信息中日益变得被动和自私;奥威尔害怕的是真理被隐瞒,赫胥黎担心的是真理被淹没在无聊烦琐的世事中;奥威尔害怕的是我们的文化成为受制文化,赫胥黎担心的是我们的文化成为充满感官刺激、欲望和无规则游戏的庸俗文化。正如赫胥黎在《重访美丽新世界》里提到的,那些随时准备反抗独裁的自由意志论者和唯理论者“完全忽视了人们对于娱乐的无尽欲望”。在《一九八四》中,人们受制于痛苦,而在《美丽新世界》中,人们由于享乐失去了自由。简而言之,奥威尔担心我们憎恨的东西会毁掉我们,而赫胥黎担心的是,我们将毁于我们热爱的东西。" Dec 28, 2018 07:12PM
