…completely against any censorship, especially government censorship, of ideas. I believe in the liberal values of free exchange of ideas (or "Liberal Science" as Jonathan Rauch calls it, in his excellent book, Kindly Inquisitors).
I read Kindly Inquisitors by Jonathan Rauch[0] earlier this year which makes a fantastic argument against the limitation of free speech. It was written over twenty years ago. While I wholeheartedly agree with Rauch's position,…
Read "Kindly Inquisitors" if you'd like a very thoughtful defense of Enlightenment ideas as it pertains to knowledge and speech. If you're impressed with someones prediction from 2012 then you'll be more amazed with someones…
…light of day, they begin to fester sort of like social rot. Or worst, people turn to violence. Free speech is not only about being heard, but about weeding out bad ideas. A great book on the subject is Kindly Inquisitors by Jonathan Rauch. He can explain the importance of free speech much gooderer than I ever could. :)
One of my favorite books is “Kindly Inquisitors” by Jonathan Rauch. Highly recommended. One of its core messages is that accusations of bias are often used to stop debate - without addressing the substance of the argument. The strongest response to…
Read “Kindly Inquisitors” by Johnathan Rausch and then read it again. It should be required reading in schools which, ironically, would be against his entire argument.
……坚决反对对思想进行任何审查，尤其是政府审查。我信奉思想自由交流的自由主义价值观（正如乔纳森·劳赫在他那本杰作《仁慈的审问者》[Kindly Inquisitors] 中所称的“自由科学”[Liberal Science]）。

我今年早些时候读了乔纳森·劳赫写的《仁慈的审问者》（Kindly Inquisitors）[0]，它极有说服力地论证了反对限制言论自由。这本书是二十多年前写的。虽然我由衷赞同劳赫的立场，……

如果你想看对涉及知识与言论的启蒙思想极其深刻的辩护，去读读《仁慈的审问者》（Kindly Inquisitors）吧。要是你觉得某人2012年的预测很厉害，那你肯定会更惊叹于某人……

……见不得光，它们就会像社会溃烂一样开始恶化。更糟的是，人们会诉诸暴力。言论自由不仅在于让人表达，更在于剔除坏的思想。关于这个主题有一本好书，就是乔纳森·劳赫写的《仁慈的审问者》（Kindly Inquisitors）。他把言论自由的重要性讲得比我好得太太太多了。:)

我最喜欢的书之一是乔纳森·劳赫写的《仁慈的审问者》（Kindly Inquisitors）。强烈推荐。它的核心观点之一是，指责对方有偏见经常被用来叫停争论——却根本不触及论点的实质。对此最有力的回应……

读读乔纳森·劳赫（Jonathan Rauch）写的《仁慈的审问者》（Kindly Inquisitors），然后多读一遍。它应该被列为学校必读书目，不过讽刺的是，这恰恰违背了他整本书的核心论点。
