Free Speech on Trial

Join us for a discussion on the limits of toleration at 12 ET, plus The Soul of Civility is on sale TODAY at 25% off!

Gracious reader,

We hear the phrase “free speech” tossed about in The Discourse a lot today.

But what is free speech? Is it in danger? If so, does it matter?

Join us today at 12 ET with one of the world’s foremost expert on free speech, Jacob Mchangama—founder of JUSTITIA, a Danish free-market think tank— which is starting in an hour.

(All who register will receive a copy of the recording.)

Some questions we’ll explore include:

• What are the limits of free speech?

• Should people be allowed to say outlandish things purely for the sake of being outlandish?

• To what extent does free speech reply on individuals choosing to wield their right to free speech well?

• What is the relationship between toleration and free speech?

• To what extent should an obligation to respect free speech apply to non governmental entities? (After all, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is clear that it doesn’t apply to private actors.)

• What role do we each have in holding free speech?

• Can free speech be limitless? Should it be?

I’m excited for this dialogue, and I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
