Chapters analyse subjects commonly linked to freedom-of-speech debates, shedding new light on familiar topics that include campus speech codes, defamation, and press freedom, while also exploring unexpected ones such as therapy, gift-giving, and martyrdom. These analyses not only provide unexpected perspectives and unique insights but also address a myriad of questions, contributing to a rich, interdisciplinary, and human understanding of the nature of freedom of speech. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matea Candea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487548842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487548841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Matea Candea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451179749631,"sku":"9781487548841","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7e6056e-4e67-4fa4-b402-9d226a14515f.jpg?v=1735876693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedoms-of-speech-matea-candea-9781487548841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
