Most modern democracies punish hate speech. Less freedom for some,
they claim, guarantees greater freedom for others. Heinze rejects
that approach, arguing that democracies have better ways of
combatting violence and discrimination against vulnerable groups
without having to censor speakers. Critiquing dominant free speech
theories, Heinze explains that free expression must be safeguarded
not just as an individual right, but as an essential attribute of
democratic citizenship. The book challenges contemporary state
regulation of public discourse by promoting a stronger theory of
what democracy is and what it demands. Examining US, European, and
international approaches, Heinze offers a new vision of free speech
within Western democracies.
