Talk | Religion, Satire and the Limits of Speech


With Dr. Joseph Chuman. The horrific massacre at the offices of the satiric magazine "Charlie Hebdo" more in Paris raises a complex of questions as to causes and how to respond. Among them are whether religion deserves any special immunity from ridicule. Whether freedom of speech is exclusively a legal matter or whether prudence in exercising freedom of speech is warranted and to what extent.

How are we to assess these values when they conflict as they ostensibly do when employed for satirical purposes? Does the massacre in Paris reflect a "clash of civilizations" or was it and kindred initiatives a product of a constructed political ideology? How are we in the West to respond? less
