Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers a holistic account of the problems posed by freedom of expression in our current times and offers corrective measures to allow for a more genuine exchange of ideas within the global society.The topic of free speech is rarely addressed from a historical, philosophical, or theological perspective. In The Collapse of Freedom of Expression, Jordi Pujol explores both the modern concept of the freedom of expression based on the European Enlightenment and the deficiencies inherent in this framework. Modernity has disregarded the traditional roots of the freedom of expression drawn from Christianity, Greek philosophy, and Roman law, which has left the door open to the various forms of abuse, censorship, and restrictions seen in contemporary public discourse. Pujol proposes that we rebuild the foundations of the freedom of expression by returning to older traditions and incorporating both the field of pragmatics of language and theological and ethical concepts on human intentionality as new, complementary disciplines.Pujol examines emblematic cases such as Charlie Hebdo, free speech on campus, and online content moderation to elaborate on the tensions that arise within the modern concept of freedom of expression. The book explores the main criticisms of the contemporary liberal tradition by communitarians, libertarians, feminists, and critical race theorists, and analyzes the gaps and contradictions within these traditions. Pujol ultimately offers a reconstruction project that involves bridging the chasm between the secular and the sacred and recognizing that religion is a font of meaning for millions of people, and as such has an inescapable place in the construction of a pluralist public sphere.

This book addresses the contemporary challenges and aspirations of Catholic universities—inspired by the original idea of a university — through a rich historical, philosophical, and practical lens. It begins with an exploration of the history of secular and Catholic universities, laying a foundation for understanding their evolving roles and identities.At its core, the book explores the purpose of a university as an active guiding principle of governance, organizational culture, and community. It examines how identity and purpose must permeate all the spheres and goals: research, teaching, governance, communications, and the 'Third Mission'—the university's societal role. A substantial focus is placed on the concept of a 'community of knowledge.' This encompasses the implementation of a core curriculum, fostering student character and virtue, the role of theology in education, and the infusion of Christian inspiration across all courses. The book also confronts the challenges of communication and impact within a secular context. It discusses strategies for communicating purpose, managing controversy, and highlights the significance of relevance, networking, and dialogue in education and society.Concluding with a reflection on the vocation to service, the book underscores the unique role of universities in shaping future generations. It was originally published as a special issue of Church, Communication and Culture.
