Nigel Warburton is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open
University. He is the author of numerous books, including the
bestselling Philosophy: the Basics (4th ed), Thinking from A to
Z,Freedom: an Introduction with Readings, Philosophy: the Classics,
The Art Question, and many more. He teaches courses on aesthetics
for Tate Modern and regularly writes and broadcasts in the media on
a range of topics, including
running the popular Philosophy Bites podcast with David Edmonds.
The genius of Nigel Warburton's Free Speech lies not only in its
extraordinary clarity and incisiveness. Just as important is the
way Warburton addresses freedom of speech - and attempts to stifle
it - as an issue for the 21st century. More than ever, we need this
book.
