Introduction President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a meeting on measures to improve the system of teaching foreign languages on May 6. Several areas of knowledge are determined every year in Uzbekistan, the development of which is given priority attention. This year physics and foreign languages have become such areas. “The time has come to create in Uzbekistan a new system of teaching foreign languages, which will become a solid foundation for the future. Since we set ourselves the goal of building a competitive state, from now on, graduates of schools, lyceums, colleges, and universities must be fluent in at least two foreign languages. This strict requirement should become the main criterion for the work of the head of each education institution,”1 Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
The relevance of addressing the work of A. Huxley is determined both by Huxley's special place in the English-language literature of the twentieth century, and by the lack of research in Russian literary criticism of his work, and in particular the novel Brave New World, as a dystopia.
Aldous Huxley is an iconic figure in world literature of the 20th century. For a number of decades, his work was perceived in world criticism as a kind of indicator of the basic trends in the development of Western literature, moreover, of social thought in general. Hundreds of works are devoted to A. Huxley , in many of which his work becomes the object of harsh criticism, is even denied as a cultural phenomenon, or is considered as a negative phenomenon: for example, E. B. Burgum considers all of Huxley's work as evidence of misanthropy the author, hidden with varying degrees of skill in different works, his cynicism of contempt for real people, but here Huxley's work appears as a significant and therefore dangerous phenomenon.
With the external breadth of coverage of Huxley's work in world literary criticism, his novel "Brave New World" is rarely considered as a dystopian novel in comparison with other dystopian works. This factor determines the basic goal of this work - highlighting the features of the novel "Brave New World" and providing typological parallels with other anti-utopias.
The main task of the work determined its structure: the first chapter presents the history of the formation of the genre, from the utopia of the Renaissance to the dystopia of the twentieth century, which is necessary for the sole purpose that dystopia as a genre is born in a dispute with utopian consciousness; the second chapter reflects the features of the genre and presents a number of the most revealing anti-utopian works; in chapter III, an analysis of the work and the allocation of its features in comparison with the works presented in the second chapter are given; the fourth chapter tells about the philosophical vision of the universe by the author, which is an important aspect in the context of this topic.
