Rediscovering a Lost Freedom

The First Amendment Right to Censor Unwanted Speech

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rediscovering a Lost Freedom seeks to modernie the First Amendment. Patrick Garry addresses what he sees as the most pressing speech problem of the twenty-first century: an often irresponsible media using the First Amendment as a shield behind which to hide its socially corrosive speech. To Garry, the First Amendment should protect the communicative process as a whole. And for this process to be free and open, listeners should have as much right to be free from unwanted speech as speakers do of not being thrown in jail for uttering unpopular ideas.
