Freedom for the Thought That We Hate 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
刚看这本书的时候,最令我感到惊讶的是美国历史也有许多历史时期,由于各种政治原因,尤其是对外来和敌对政治势力的恐惧,今天可谓言论自由标兵的美国,也有许多不同意见的压制甚至迫害。然而,当我看完的时候,令我真正感触的是为什么经过所有历史的曲折,美国在言论自由和公...
评分本来是想看《批评官员的尺度》的,但kindle上没搜到,看本书是同一个作者,讲的也同样是第一修正案,就以为是同一本书了。不知道有没有人和我犯一样的错误(笑)。《批》聚焦在纽约时报诉沙利文案,本书则是从更加宏观的视角,介绍了美国为什么会有第一修正案、第一修正案边界...
评分在言论自由这一幅布帘之后的更是思想的自由。 Freedom is not free.自由从来不是免费品,在美国宪法第一修正案之后几十年内,众多法官与媒体仍再为社会争取最大的言论自由。从《反煽动叛乱法案》、诽谤、隐私等问题上法庭都给予了社会媒体最大空间的言论自由。 ...
评分当我们在为美国宪法第一修正案大唱赞歌的同时,当我们将各种各样的称誉,鲜花,掌声献给这个仅仅只有十几个字,但是历经两百多年一字未改的条款的同时,我们应该首先明确意识到这么两点,第一,美国今天的言论自由不是一蹴而就,尽管第一修正案在两百多年前就被制宪先贤们写下...
评分这本书是国庆放假期间三天读完的。上一本书是“批评官员的尺度”,基于了解美国宪法第一修正案的想法,继续读了这本书,同一个作者所著。 看完之后的几点感受: 1、言论自由需要一个有力的制度作保障,司法是其中最重要的一个环节,美国从建国以来设计的三权分立制度和最高法院...

Book Description
From one of the country's most esteemed experts on the First Amendment and the author of the classic Gideon's Trumpet, an eloquent essay on the importance of freedom of expression.
More than any other people on earth, Americans are free to say and write what they think. The media can air the secrets of the White House, the boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. The reason for this extraordinary freedom is not a superior culture of tolerance, but just fourteen words in our most fundamental legal document: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution.
In Lewis's telling, the story of how the right of free expression evolved along with our nation makes a compelling case for the adaptability of our constitution. Although Americans have gleefully and sometimes outrageously exercised their right to free speech since before the nation's founding, the Supreme Court did not begin to recognize this right until 1919. Freedom of speech and the press as we know it today is surprisingly recent. Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.
对题材感兴趣找来看,结果英文很难好多法律上的专业术语一度中断了想放弃,最近疫情的大环境下把它看完了,复杂长句子多,很多细节没看懂。但总体是很有趣的简史,包含各种相关的历史案例,从言论自由的适用范围,公共事务or个人,出版行业有没有特权,诽谤、煽动的裁定等等。“Even a false belief is valuable, because the process of debate about it may test and conform the truth of the opposing view.”
评分很好,引起了很多想法
评分非常好的简史,被美国诗意的法庭意见惊呆了”It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment...””One man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric.”
评分1) The course of the ratification of the First Amendment is surely a clumsy one 其实放眼望去 灯塔国的法制进程也是磕磕绊绊的 有些部分现在看来也是可笑而难以置信的 but there is nothing that a state ruled by law shall hide from its residents. 2)关于价值冲突的几个章节写的异常精彩 但是案件的铺陈有流水账的嫌疑 有很多问题反而暴露了联邦法庭广为诟病的缺陷——inconsistencies. 3) The curbs on political bidding is violating the freedom of speech(of $)
