Episode 187: The Limits of Free Speech (Part One)

Episode 187: The Limits of Free Speech (Part One)

By Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

A free-form discussion drawing on Stanley Fish's “There’s No Such Thing as Free Speech, and It’s a Good Thing, Too” (1994), Joel Feinberg’s “Limits to the Free Expression of Opinion” (1975), and other sources.

What are the legitimate limits on free speech? Feinberg delves into the harm and offense principles. Fish argues that every claim to free speech has ideological assumptions actually favoring some types of speech baked into it. A lively back and forth ensues!
