This is a marvellous discourse that treads a fine line between the
arguments for liberty and restraint, and compellingly reveals that
neither has a place in human society if they are encouraged in a
pure form. He demonstrates that the main arguments about free
speech reflect the contemporary debates of an earlier time,
themselves rooted in even earlier religious confrontations.
However, while he does endeavour to add some humour and clarity to
the discussion, Haworth has taken it for granted that the reader
already has a firm grasp of the concepts of contractualism and
relativism. (Kirkus UK)
Free Speech is a philosophical treatment of a topic which is of immense importance to all of us.
Writing with great clarity, wit, and genuine concern, Alan Haworth situates the main arguments for free speech by tracing their relationship to contemporary debates in politics and political philosophy, and their historical roots to earlier controversies over religious toleration.
Free Speech will appeal to anyone with an interest in philosophy, politics and current affairs.
