Censorship And Speech Some Philosophical Bearings - P.G. Ingram

This Title Was First Published In 2000: While There Are Many Philosophical Studies Of Speech, Treating Censorship Historically, Politically, Or By The Medium Restricted (films, Press Etc.), Little Has Been Written On Censorship And Speech Dealing With Issues Philosophically And Approaching Them From The Perspective Of Restrictions. This Book Treats Censorship And Speech As A Problem Of Ideas, Examining The Issues As An Aspect Of Our Wider Social And Political Lives And Critically Examining Mainstream Arguments Against Censorship. This Unique Approach Takes Issue With The Concept Of Censorship As Something Aberrant, To Examine Where The Limits Of Speech Lie In Ensuring Individual Development And Collective Harmony.
