The Indispensable Right
Free Speech in an Age of Rage
Book • 2024
In 'The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,' Jonathan Turley provides a comprehensive and intellectually challenging analysis of the right to free speech.
The book places current attacks on free speech within a historical context, highlighting parallels with past restrictions and the ongoing debate over the limits of free expression.
Turley critiques the functionalist view of free speech and argues that this right is inherent and autonomous, essential to human nature.
He discusses critical judicial decisions, including the famous 'fire in a crowded theater' case, and examines recent events such as the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
The book is praised for its rigorous detail and evenhanded approach, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on free speech.
