Abstract

Abstract Freedom of thought means freedom from social tyranny, the capacity to think for oneself, to encounter even shocking ideas without shrinking away from them. That aspiration is a core concern of the free speech tradition. It is not specifically concerned with law, but it explains some familiar aspects of the First Amendment law we actually have—aspects that the most prevalent theories of free speech fail to capture. It explains the prohibition of compelled speech, and can clarify the perennial puzzle of why freedom of speech extends to art and literature. It also tells us something about the limits of legal regulation, and about the ethical obligations of private actors.
赞美邪恶的思想
思想自由意味着不受社会暴政的束缚,意味着独立思考的能力,意味着即使遇到令人震惊的想法也不退缩的能力。这种愿望是言论自由传统的核心关切。它并不特别涉及法律,但它解释了我们实际上拥有的第一修正案法律的一些熟悉的方面-最流行的言论自由理论未能捕捉到的方面。它解释了对强迫言论的禁止,并可以澄清为什么言论自由延伸到艺术和文学的长期困惑。它还告诉我们法律监管的局限性,以及私人行为者的道德义务。

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
