Kant on Freedom of Speech

223
Peter Niesen
Universität Hamburg

Abstract

Although Kant belongs to the small number of classical authors on the normative foundations of freedom of speech, and has arguably influenced a number of contemporary political philosophers of free expression, there exists little literature on this aspect of his work. The panel invites studies from within Kant scholarship on Kant's view of the grounds, functions, extension, and limits of freedom of speech. It also welcomes papers delineating what contemporary interest and limits Kant's or Kantian conceptions of free speech may have.
