O knihe

Reprint of sole edition. Originally published: New York: Harper Brothers Publishers, [1948].

"Dr. Meiklejohn, in a book which greatly needed writing, has
thought through anew the foundations and structure of our theory
of free speech . . . he rejects all compromise. He reexamines the
fundamental principles of Justice Holmes' theory of free speech
and finds it wanting because, as he views it, under the Holmes
doctrine speech is not free enough. In these few pages, Holmes
meets an adversary worthy of him . . . Meiklejohn in his own way
writes a prose as piercing as Holmes, and as a foremost American
philosopher, the reach of his culture is as great . . . this is the most
dangerous assault which the Holmes position has ever borne." --JOHN P. FRANK, Texas Law Review 27:405-412.

ALEXANDER MEIKLEJOHN [1872-1964] was dean of Brown
University from 1901-1913, when he became president of Amherst
College. In 1923 Meiklejohn moved to the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, where he set up an experimental college. He was a longtime
member of the National Committee of the American Civil Liberties
Union. In 1945 he was a United States delegate to the charter meeting
of UNESCO in London. Lectureships have been named for him at Brown
University and at the University of Wisconsin. He was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963.
