Is your mind your own?


How do ideologies, religions, governments and other authorities in your life dictate what you believe and feel? Are you in control of your own moral well-being? Is morality objective or relative to contexts?


Author, David Matthews presents the answers to these questions and more in Our Captured Minds.


Humanity is being controlled by religion and ideologies. This manipulation is preventing us from using our inbuilt moral sense. What is left is a slave to the dictates of someone else’s ideas.


Matthews explores how the idea that all morality is objective runs counter to the reality – that morality is a human creation and should be treated as such. All morality that imposes itself as absolute are appealing to superstition.


This goes for the divine command theory as well as secular ideologies, such as socialism, which Matthews shows to be one of the most dangerous and fallacious of modern day ideologies.


Our Captured Minds makes the case for moral relativism and for humans to re-take the reins over their own moral destiny. In this book, you will learn the true nature of morality, how it is formed and how ideologies twist it for power and wealth. You will also learn the danger that socialism poses not only to sound economics, but to free thought.


This is a book for any person interested in morality, politics, philosophy, religion and ethics.

A fascinating and convincing attack on the notion of universal morality and the role that ideology plays in controlling the way we view morality and ethics.

I used to be a devout universal moralist until this book and its accompanying articles convinced me that you cannot divorce the notion of universal morality from superstition. The reasonable human should not engage in superstition, so I have moved on from that and embraced that morality is a tool of humanity - one that we shaped ourselves and shouldn't credit to imaginary friends or dictators.

A must read for people interested in morality, political philosophy and finding a defence for the oft demonised notion of moral relativism.
