Overview"Free expression is under threat. Social media and ""fake news,"" misinformation, and disinformation have prompted governments to propose new forms of regulation that are deeply challenging to free expression. Hate speech, far-right populism, campus speech debates, and censorship consistently make headlines in Canada and abroad. Dilemmas of Free Expression offers forward-looking appraisals of ways to confront challenging moral issues, policy problems, and controversies that pay heed to the fundamental right to free expression. The essays in this volume offer timely analyses of the law, policy, and philosophical challenges, and social repercussions to our understanding of expressive freedom in relation to government obligations and public discourse. Free expression and its limits are multifaceted, deeply complex, inherently values-based, and central to the ability of a society to function. Dilemmas of Free Expression addresses the challenges of limiting free expression across a host of issues through an analyses by leading and emerging voices in a number of disciplines, including political science, law, philosophy, and Indigenous studies."

It is a 'must read' not only for constitutional lawyers, legal scholars, and judges, but also anyone interested in how Canada should address freedom of expression as a foundational civil liberty for our democracy. - Kerri A.

What is badly needed at this point in the debates is less heat and more light. This volume does an admirable job of supplying that antidote. It is must-reading for anyone committed to thinking through the complex issues at stake. - Wayne Sumner, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto Author InformationEmmett Macfarlane is an associate professor of political science at the University of Waterloo Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
