This essential primer delves into the historical, social, and legal foundations of intellectual freedom, examining its intersection with freedom of expression and social justice. From censorship to emerging global issues, this book offers an in-depth analysis of key concepts and principles, including John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" and Article 19 of the U.N Declaration of Human Rights.
