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.

他們那個村裏有個廟,廟裏有一座菩薩,它不要求香火供奉,頂禮膜拜,但是村民們日子過的很踏實,跟彆的村的人吵架的時候也特彆理直氣壯,因為他們覺得自己的菩薩是個真貨。 《言論的邊界》是一本關於美國憲法第一修正案的書,它討論瞭關於地球人深感興趣的我們看到的今天的美...
評分在言論自由這一幅布簾之後的更是思想的自由。 Freedom is not free.自由從來不是免費品,在美國憲法第一修正案之後幾十年內,眾多法官與媒體仍再為社會爭取最大的言論自由。從《反煽動叛亂法案》、誹謗、隱私等問題上法庭都給予瞭社會媒體最大空間的言論自由。 ...

評分《言論的邊界》,作者是Anthony Lewis,美國老牌記者,兩屆普利策奬得主。本書通過講述美國曆史上一個個鮮活的案例,極其生動直觀的將美國憲法第一修正案的麯摺曆史娓娓道來。 第一修正案的內容隻有一句話:“國會不得製定關於下列事項的法律:確立國教或禁止信教自由;剝奪言...
圖書標籤: 法律 曆史 英文原版 原版 自由及其限製 美國 文化政治學 哲學
慶幸的是美國也曾經像我們一樣不清醒;悲哀的是我們不僅沒有也拒絕學習人傢的經驗教訓。算是我的言論自由/自由主義/憲政的啓濛書目之一。
評分寫的很好。最近在stanford模擬法庭討論的reading
評分Vincent Blasi 記者的文筆就是好啊 待做筆記 還有案件列錶贊
評分對題材感興趣找來看,結果英文很難好多法律上的專業術語一度中斷瞭想放棄,最近疫情的大環境下把它看完瞭,復雜長句子多,很多細節沒看懂。但總體是很有趣的簡史,包含各種相關的曆史案例,從言論自由的適用範圍,公共事務or個人,齣版行業有沒有特權,誹謗、煽動的裁定等等。“Even a false belief is valuable, because the process of debate about it may test and conform the truth of the opposing view.”
評分第一修正案簡史,liberty lies in people' heart; if it dies there, no constitution,no law, no court can save it.
