Abstract

The article focuses on the controversy surrounding free speech, particularly on college campuses, questioning the shift in debates and the challenges to the principle. Topics include the historical context of free speech, the semantics of "speech" versus "expression" in influential documents like the Chicago Principles, and the author's exploration of the distinctive value of speech in rational deliberation compared to the more emotional and individual nature of expression.
