In an era when much of what passes for debate is merely moral posturing–traditional family values versus the cultural elite, free speech versus censorship–or reflexive name-calling–the terms "liberal" and "politically correct," are used with as much dismissive scorn by the right as "reactionary" and "fascist" are by the left–Stanley Fish would seem an unlikely lightning rod for controversy.

This book addresses the question: “What should be the appropriate limits to free speech?” The author claims that it is the state, rather than abstract principles, that must provide the answer.

There is much controversy about the dangers of a free media when it comes to children and adolescents.

An incisive examination of how pundits and politicians manufactured the campus free speech crisis–and created a genuine challenge to academic freedom in the process.
