Speech and Harm

Controversies Over Free Speech

Herausgeber: Maitra, Ishani; Mcgowan, Mary Kate

Beschreibung

Most liberal societies are deeply committed to free speech, but there is evidence that some kinds of speech can be harmful in ways that are detrimental to important liberal values, such as social inequality. This volume draws on a range of approaches in order to explore the problem and determine what ought to be done about allegedly harmful speech.
