Ends and Means

-[A] book to be read, re-read and thought about... It is this combination of intense intellectual effort, intense preoccupation with ultimate truth, and intense emotional and artistic sincerity, which is the world's first need today.-

--The Spectator

-Aldous Huxley... focuses attention upon the gravest moral issue of this generation: the wide-spread disposition to believe that we can achieve ends which we believe to be good by means which we know quite clearly to be abominable... Mr. Huxley's argument is refreshing indeed. His central thesis, the impossibility of promoting peace and charity by means of poison gas and machine guns, will remain to plague those realists and idealists who are so sure they can save the world with slaughter and murder.-

--Otto F. Kraushaar, American Sociological Review

-Individual political scientists, economists, and sociologists doubtless have written with more assurance on the several aspects of Huxley's social diagnosis and prescription but few are likely to bring a fresher and more masterful approach to the ultimate synthesis.-

--Marshall E. Dimock, The American Political Science Review

-Ends and Means cannot fail to arouse the greatest interest among social science intellectuals.-

--Talcott Parsons
