Dear free speakers, Next week's session will be our first foray into the treasure trove of exciting engaged philosophy that is currently being written for the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Social & Political Philosophy of Language. We'll be joined by Ishani Maitra and Mary Kate McGowan to discuss a draft of their contribution on "Language and Free Speech". How can we reconcile the central political value that is usually attributed to freedom of speech with our need to significantly regulate and constrain some kinds of speech? "If we are genuinely committed to freedom of speech, shouldn't that mean that all - or nearly all - speech ought to be legally permitted?" How do (legal) principles of free speech work, and how do they relate to regulation of speech? Join us next week to discuss!
Please join us on Wednesday, August 19th, from 4.00 to 5.30pm UK time, for the discussion.
