John M. Kang

Oliver Wendell Holmes and Fixations of Manliness (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. has been, and continues to be, praised as America's greatest judge and he is widely considered to have done more than anyone else to breathe life into the Constitution's right of free speech, probably the most crucial right for democracy. In this book, John Kang argues that Holmes's First Amendment jurisprudence was the expression of an idiosyncratic manliness rooted in physical courage.
