Synopsis

This book explores the current state of freedom of speech, arguing that while legal protections remain strong, a cultural shift is leading to increased demands for intellectual comfort and punishment for perceived offensive speech. Author Greg Lukianoff examines how this trend, particularly within academia, poses a significant threat to free expression. He contends that understanding this demand for 'freedom from speech' is crucial to effectively counter the growing intolerance.
