The Competition of Ideas: Market or Garden?
Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 4 (2):45-58 (2001)
| Abstract | The ‘marketplace of ideas’ is an influential metaphor with widespread currency in debates about freedom of speech. We explore a number of ways competition between ideas might be described as occurring in a marketplace and find that none support the use of the metaphor. We suggest that an alternative metaphor, that of the ‘garden of ideas’, may offer more productive insights into issues surrounding the regulation of speech. | |||||||||
