Septe: "How Free Should Speech Be?" Reading Group with POPCO at 6PM
-
We're often told that censoring opinions is a bad thing. It is easy to imagine, however, certain opinions that we wouldn't mind being censored. Consider, for example, Holocaust denial. Do we even have reason to permit people to publicly engage in Holocaust denialism?
Nishi Shah seems to think so. In his essay "Why Academic Freedom Matters" he argues that censoring Holocaust denialism undercuts our justification for censoring the opinion in the first. If we censored it, we would deprive ourselves of opportunities in the future to have our reasons for censoring Holocaust denialism challenged.
Join us on August 8 as we take up the important questions of what free speech is, what grounds the most plausible defense of free speech, and why free speech is important!
