Early French And German Defenses Of Freedom Of The Press: Elie Luzac's Essay On Freedom Of Expression (1749) And Carl Friedrich
Brill Academic Pub (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
This volume contains English translations of two important early French and
German defences of freedom of the press. Almost unknown in the English-speaking
world, these texts demonstrate that freedom of the press was an important issue
in other parts of Europe in the early modern period, giving rise to articulate
theories. Elie Luzac's "Essay on Freedom of Expression" (1749) defended freedom
of the press for atheists on natural law and other grounds. Carl Friedrich
Bahrdt's "On Freedom of the Press and its Limits" (1787) drew on natural law,
religious rhetoric, and political journalism to make the case for understanding
freedom of the press as a human right.
