Academic freedom allows members of institutions of higher learning
to engage in intellectual pursuits without fear of censorship or
retaliation, and lies at the heart of the mission of the
university. Recent years have seen growing concerns about threats
to academic freedom, many brought about from the changing norms of
(and demands on) the university. A wide range of new issues -
including content warnings, safe spaces, social media
controversies, microaggressions, and no platforming - have given
rise to loud cries, in both scholarly and popular contexts, that
academic freedom is under serious attack. This volume fills both of
these gaps in the current literature by bringing together leading
philosophers from a wide range of areas of expertise to weigh in on
both traditional issues and timely challenges that involve academic
freedom. Divided into four main sections, it covers the rationale
of academic freedom, its parameters, the new challenges to academic
freedom (ranging from content warnings to political correctness),
and the conflicts between academic freedom and the enforcement of
laws and regulations governing the university.
