{"product_id":"scope-of-tolerance","title":"Scope of Tolerance","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the dangers in any political system is that the principles that underlie and characterize it may, through their application, bring about its destruction. Liberal democracy is no exception. Moreover, because democracy is relatively a young phenomenon, it lacks experience in dealing with pitfalls involved in the working of the system - the ‘catch’ of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an interdisciplinary study concerned with the limits of tolerance, this ‘democratic catch’, and the costs of freedom of expression. Rights are costly, and someone must pay for them. We can and should ask about the justification for bearing the costs, weighing them against the harms inflicted upon society as a result of a wide scope of tolerance. While recognizing that we have the need to express ourselves, we should also inquire about the justifications for tolerating the damaging speech and whether these are weighty enough. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book combines theory and practice, examining issues of contention from philosophical, legal and media perspectives and covers such issues as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emedia invasion into one’s privacy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoffensive speech \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincitement \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehate speech \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eholocaust denial \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emedia coverage of terrorism. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for anyone who has research interests in political theory, extremism, and free speech.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258560958808,"sku":"9780415357586","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415357586_40a90f22-dde3-4493-81fd-c8c169b05215.jpg?v=1769731217","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/scope-of-tolerance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
