Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought, Expanded Edition

The Kindly Inquisitors book by Jonathan Rauch is a thought-provoking exploration of the issues surrounding attempts to limit free speech.

This expanded edition includes a new foreword by George F.

Will and a substantial new afterword by Rauch, making it even more relevant today than when it was first published 20 years ago.

The book argues that the answer to bias and prejudice is pluralism - not purism, and provides a compelling case for why we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism in order to foster a more vigorous and fruitful discussion.

With its bracing and provocative insights, this book will challenge listeners to rethink their assumptions about free speech and pluralism, and is essential reading for anyone interested in these important issues.
