Question: Early in chapter 12 in Brave New World Mustapha Mond reviews a biology paper; in his criticism (he rejects the paper as dangerous to the social order) he remarks that the paper claimed the goal of life was not happiness, "that the purpose of life was not the maintenance of well-being, but some intensification and refining of consciousness, some enlargement of knowledge." Mond concludes the author was probably right. If the goal of life is not maintenance and improvement of well-being, that is, happiness, what possibly could be the purpose? What does the Savage see as the purpose?
