Description
The Scope of Tolerance Studies on the Costs of Free Expression and Freedom of the Press by Raphael Cohen-Almagor explores the complexities of liberal democracy and its potential pitfalls. This interdisciplinary study examines the limits of tolerance, weighing the costs of freedom of expression against the harms inflicted upon society. Cohen-Almagor delves into issues such as media invasion of privacy, offensive speech, incitement to hate, and Holocaust denial, among others. He draws on philosophical, legal, and media perspectives to shed light on these contentious topics. This book is a valuable resource for anyone researching political theory, extremism, and free speech. By examining the justifications for tolerating damaging speech and weighing their weight against societal harms, Cohen-Almagor provides a nuanced understanding of the democratic catch and its costs.
