Why It's OK to Speak Your Mind

Joshi offers a novel defense of speaking your mind, drawing from Aristotle, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and a range of contemporary thinkers. He argues that speaking our own unique perspective is essential not only for not only our personal well being but also for our collective good.

Hrishikesh Joshi is Assistant Professor at Bowling Green State University, and works on moral and political philosophy. He completed his Ph.D. at Princeton University.
