摘要

在Speech Matters (Princeton, 2014)一书中,Seana Shiffrin解释了为什么说谎是错误的,为什么言论自由是正确的,以及为什么这两种观点是相容的。这篇评论称赞了Shiffrin的书的创造性和强大的连贯性。它将谎言和言论自由的主张建立在同一个基础上:真诚的交流是道德能动性和道德进步的先决条件。在这方面,Shiffrin的书对目前最高法院和其他地方认为言论自由必须包括撒谎权利的趋势提出了尖锐的指责。相反,Shiffrin认为,我们拥有言论自由的原因与说谎在道德上很少被允许的原因是一样的。与此同时,Shiffrin观点的一致性也揭示了康德对谎言的描述与对言论自由的主流观点之间的某种对称性,这种对称性并不是每个人都觉得有益。在这两种情况下,沟通的重要性似乎都超过了其他利益,甚至其他道德承诺。虽然Shiffrin阐述了一个令人信服的观点,即为什么自由和真实的交流在道德认同中发挥着独特的作用,实际上是一种独特的作用,但问题仍然是,这种作用是否需要如此多的保护,无论是反对谎言还是支持言论自由。尽管如此,Shiffrin的书对这些问题提出了一个原创和权威的观点,它将挑战和指导任何对说谎、言论自由或我们对自己和他人的沟通责任感兴趣的人。

How Much Does Speech Matter
In Speech Matters (Princeton 2014), Seana Shiffrin explains why lying is wrong, why freedom of speech is right, and why those two views are compatible. This review lauds Shiffrin’s book for its creative and powerful coherence of vision. It lays its claims about both lying and free speech on the same foundation: on a view of sincere communication as a prerequisite for moral agency and moral progress. In this regard, Shiffrin’s book stands in sharp rebuke to the current trend, in the Supreme Court and elsewhere, of assuming that the freedom of speech must include a right to lie. Instead, Shiffrin argues, the reasons that we have freedom of speech are the same reasons that lying is rarely morally permissible. At the same time, the coherence of Shiffrin’s view also reveals a certain symmetry between Kantian accounts of lying and predominant views of free speech, one that not everyone will find salutary. In both, the importance of communication seems to override other interests, even other moral commitments. While Shiffrin articulates a compelling view of why free and authentic communication serves a distinct, indeed a singular, role in moral identity, the question remains whether that role requires quite so much protection, either against lying or in favor of free speech. Nevertheless, Shiffrin’s book puts forth an original and authoritative view on these questions, one that will challenge and instruct anyone interested in lying, free speech, or the communicative responsibilities we owe to ourselves and others.

期刊介绍: The Harvard Law Review is a student-run organization whose primary purpose is to publish a journal of legal scholarship. The Review comes out monthly from November through June and has roughly 2,500 pages per volume. The organization is formally independent of the Harvard Law School. Student editors make all editorial and organizational decisions and, together with a professional business staff of three, carry out day-to-day operations. Aside from serving as an important academic forum for legal scholarship, the Review has two other goals. First, the journal is designed to be an effective research tool for practicing lawyers and students of the law. Second, it provides opportunities for Review members to develop their own editing and writing skills. Accordingly, each issue contains pieces by student editors as well as outside authors. The Review publishes articles by professors, judges, and practitioners and solicits reviews of important recent books from recognized experts. All articles — even those by the most respected authorities — are subjected to a rigorous editorial process designed to sharpen and strengthen substance and tone.
