The Cost remise of Free Speech Simon Lee 1990 livre de poche bon

"If I disagree with what you say, why on earth should I defend to the death your right to say it? In the wake of the Ayatollahs fatwah against Salmon Rushdie and in the turbulent context of terrorism in Northern Ireland, free speech really can lead to death. So the time has come for a vigorous re-examination of our commitment to free speech. And if the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, we need to know where to look for threats to that freedom. In this powerful and provocative book, Simon Lee argues that to many of us are looking in the wrong direction."
