In recent years, the rise of populism, 'fake news' phenomena, waves of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, and online hate attacks are among developments that have kept free speech at the forefront of both public and academic discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this new introduction, Matteo Bonotti and Jonathan Seglow offer a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the debates around freedom of speech. They introduce three major philosophical arguments for freedom of speech based on the values of truth, autonomy, and democracy, before critically examining their strengths and limits. Using a variety of case studies, including hate speech, offensive speech, Holocaust denial and pornography, they tackle pressing current issues including 'alternative facts' and 'No Platforming'.\u003c\/p\u003e This book will be essential for both students and general readers wishing to understand the contemporary significance and philosophical roots of free speech, and how it relates to debates about citizenship, democracy, feminism, and multiculturalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonotti, Matteo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509526451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180","brand":"Matteo Bonotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39337610870859,"sku":"9781509526451","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_4908472e-20c0-451d-a80f-8f2295b33f52.jpg?v=1619527990","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/free-speech-9781509526451","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
