Writing with great clarity, wit, and genuine concern, Alan Haworth situates the main arguments for free speech by tracing their relationship to contemporary debates in politics and political philosophy, and their historical roots to earlier controversies over religious toleration. Free Speech will appeal to anyone with an interest in philosophy, politics and current affairs. 410 0$aProblems of philosophy (Routledge (Firm)) 606 $aFreedom of speech 615 0$aFreedom of speech. 676 $a323.44/3/01 700 $aHaworth$b Alan$f1944-$0920316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812796403321 996 $aFree speech$93916810 997 $aUNINA
