Liberalism Divided Freedom of Speech and the Many Uses of State Power

Informationen zum Autor Fiss, Owen Klappentext Professor Fiss examines contemporary free-speech issues in the context of the collision of liberal ideas of equality and freedom with modern social structures and speculates on what role the state might play in furthering robust public debate.
