FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND HATE SPEECH
After providing a historical and philosophical framework for the debate on freedom of speech, the course focuses on the hate speech: the recurring features that it presents in history and the challenges it brings to democratic coexistence. The ethical-political dilemmas engendered by the hate speech, only partly attributable to the alternative tolerance-censorship, will be discussed in class with the debate method.
