Greetings all,
This coming Monday, July 27 Sarah Sorial (UW) will be talking to us about " Free Speech, Autonomy, and the Marketplace of Ideas"
My aim in this paper is to examine the marketplace metaphor and the concept of autonomy on which it depends, as it appears in defenses of free speech more generally, and as it is used to argue against sedition laws more specifically. A closer examination of the way in which this concept functions in free speech debates suggests that concept of autonomy can only protect a narrow free speech principle, one that does not necessarily include the seditious libel in question.
Philosophy common room, 1.00-2.30. Hope to see you all there...
