About this book
Reviews
“Whitten’s book offers a much needed, fresh account of the proper limits of free speech.”(- Fabian Schuppert, Professor for Political Theory, University of Potsdam, Germany)
'This book persuasively brings to bear republican political theory in an original argument that hate speech is itself a threat to freedom, which requires citizens to respond in a way that is both critical and civil." (- Iseult Honohan, Emeritus Associate Professor, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland)
