The book defends a version of Hobbesian absolutism and rejects the dominant liberal idea that there is a right (human or civil) setting the boundaries of free speech. This liberal view can be known as the “principled defence of free speech”, in which speech is established as a constitutional principle that has priority over the state. The author instead offers an “unprincipled approach to free speech”, suggesting that the boundaries of speech must necessarily be set by the state, which in liberal democracies means through social and political contestation. The final chapter applies the argument to the topic of hate speech and argues that it is appropriate to limit such speech when it causes harm and offense. The book will be of use to students and scholars across political theory, political science, sociology, philosophy and law. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | limits to free speech; free speech as a human right; state control of free speech; Hobbesian absolutism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51635-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84706-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-51635-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
