Reviews for The Cost of Free Speech. Pornography, Hate Speech, and Their Challenge to Liberalism.
'The Cost of Free Speech is certainly worth its price. Clear, well organized, and thoroughly argued, it simultaneously provides a non-superficial introduction to the central theoretical issues at the intersection of political philosophy and free speech and significant food for thought for those more familiar with the relevant topics.' - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
