This is a guest post by Ryan Muldoon of The Philosophy Department and PPE at the University of Buffalo. The letter in Harper's magazine has generated a great deal of discussion around free speech, and whether we are in an era of diminished capacity to speak one's mind. I am quite interested in maintaining a culture of free expression, and have written on the subject in the past, and hope to write more in the future. I think it's worth noting a few things that may help us think more carefully about our current debate.
