Produktinformationen "Free Speech in Contention"
This short book examines the dynamic and complex nature of free speech, with reference to criminal law. It explores its historical roots, its role as a cornerstone of democracy, and its contemporary challenges. Free speech is not merely a legal right but a social and cultural tool that fosters democracy, innovation, and cultural progress. However, as society evolves, so too do the questions surrounding its boundaries and ethical implications.This book combines scholarly rigor with accessible writing and a measured approach to engage readers and students across disciplines and ideologies. It seeks to understand what free speech means and where its limits lie. By incorporating real-world examples, such as the debates around J.K. Rowling’s comments on gender or the misinformation campaigns during the Brexit referendum, the book delves into the tension between free expression and the challenges of misinformation, hate speech, and cultural censorship. It addresses free speech not as an abstract principle but as a living, breathing mechanism shaping democracy, innovation, and cultural understanding. Its scope encompasses legal, ethical, political, and cultural dimensions, offering a comprehensive yet nuanced exploration of free speech’s evolving landscape. The chapters lend themselves well to classroom reading and include recommendations at the end of each chapter.
