What Is the "Culture of Free Speech"?

This is the first Symposium podcast where we get a group of our contributors together to talk out a big important issue—the first of many in this format.

To keep getting access to these discussions and to help make sure we can keep hosting more of them, please subscribe to Symposium.

In this podcast, I host a conversation with Symposium contributors Helen Pluckrose, Cathy Young, and Robert Garmong on that elusive concept, the “culture of free speech”: the need for toleration and open debate, not just as a political or legal protection, but as a cultural norm. But what is the “culture of free speech,” how do we draw the line between ideas that are open for discussion and those that are beyond the pale, and why do we need this concept in the first place? Listen in as I talk these questions out with our contributors.

Oh, and I should mention that one of the benefits of subscribing is that you can add your own contribution to the discussion in the comments.

You can also watch it on video here:

And please share this with your friends.
