图书简介
Political protests, debates on college campuses, and social media tirades make it seem like everyone is speaking their minds today. Surveys, however, reveal that many people increasingly feel like they’re walking on eggshells when communicating in public. Speaking your mind can risk relationships and professional opportunities. It can alienate friends and anger colleagues. Isn’t it smarter to just put your head down and keep quiet about controversial topics?_x000D_ _x000D_ In this book, Hrishikesh Joshi offers a novel defense of speaking your mind. He explains that because we are social creatures, we never truly think alone. What we know depends on what our community knows. And by bringing our unique perspectives to bear upon public discourse, we enhance our collective ability to reach the truth on a variety of important matters._x000D_ _x000D_ Speaking your mind is also important for your own sake. It is essential for developing your own thinking. And it’s a core aspect of being intellectually courageous and independent. Joshi argues that such independence is a crucial part of a well-lived life. _x000D_ The book draws from Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and a range of contemporary thinkers to argue that it’s OK to speak your mind. _x000D_ _x000D_ Key Features_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Shows that we have not just a right but a moral duty to publicly share what we know. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Argues that discussing your unique ideas with others is essential for developing as a critical thinker._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Explores the value of intellectual honesty and independence in the writings of John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Nietzsche and connects their thinking to contemporary problems._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Argues that avoiding cultural blind spots today is important for the fate of future generations._x000D_ _x000D_
