A Wild West of the Mind
Sher, George (Herbert S. Autrey Professor of Philosophy, Herbert S. Autrey Professor of Philosophy, Rice University)
The book addresses two main topics-first, the morality of thought and, second, what's involved in having a free mind. It connects these topics by arguing that to have a free mind, a person must be willing to follow his thoughts wherever they lead, and that this just isn't possible if the person thinks that some thoughts are morally off limits. The book defends the unpopular position that it is not morally wrong to have even the nastiest of attitudes, the most biasedof beliefs, or the vilest of fantasies.
