The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting.
Our next meeting is March 10, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Is Free Speech Too Free?" and will be moderated by Dr. Tim Shiell (Philosophy, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:
"The United States is unique in the strength of its protections for expression. Other first world democracies enforce many more restrictions on expression. Have we gone too far in protecting, for example, hateful messages at the funerals of soldiers and students, falsely claiming a military honor, racist and other biased expression, violent expression, and burning the US flag in protest? What, if anything, justifies legal protections for these?"
Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
