Description
Freedom of speech is never very far away from political controversy. In recent years, the rise of populism, the ‘cancel culture’ phenomenon, and online hate attacks are among the developments that have kept it at the forefront of both public and academic discussion.
In this new introduction to the subject, Matteo Bonotti and Jonathan Seglow offer an accessible analysis of debates around freedom of speech. They introduce and critically examine three major philosophical arguments for freedom of speech that are based on the values of truth, autonomy, and democracy. They apply these arguments to issues including hate speech, offensive speech, and pornography, and also tackle pressing current issues such as ‘fake news’ and public shaming.
Free Speech will be essential for anyone wishing to understand the contemporary significance and philosophical roots of free speech, and how it relates to debates about democracy, feminism and multiculturalism.

Free Speech by Jonathan Seglow and Matteo Bonotti is praised for offering a nuanced exploration of free speech issues, including hate speech and offensive content, without strictly taking sides. The book is highlighted for providing a liberal framework to thoughtfully analyse restrictions on speech, challenging the libertarian perspective that such restrictions are inherently anti-liberal.
