Freedom Of Speech is a BURDEN and Should Be CENSORED - Areopagitica - Milton - HC Vol. 3 Ep13
Description
Freedom to express opinion and debate ideas has been the foundational aspect of Western civilization since the inception of our culture. Without the freedom to print, write, and speak freely we lose the ability to understand what "truth" is. To seek anything beyond what is "truth", is to seek appeasement. The ability to distinguish between what is good and what is evil is rooted in our ability to choose and reason. John Milton explains all of this and more in his historical masterpiece of a speech "Areopagitica". I truly hope you enjoy this video on book 3 of volume 3 of the Harvard Classics.
