The two clashing meanings of “free speech”

• According to the author, what common translation do the words isegoria and parrhesia share,
and why is that translation inadequate when discussing democratic ideas of free speech?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The two clashing words isegoria and parrhesia have controversies because there is a fundamental conflict between the two.

Explanation:

The words isegoria and parrhesia are as old as the democracy itself. The two clashing words share the modern liberal democratic fascinating and forgotten ways. The isegoria word from ancient Athens described the equal right of citizens to participate in public debate in the democratic assembly. On the other hand, parrhesia assembles the license to sat what one pleased, how and when one pleased, and to whom. Both words carry contradictory clashing meaning.
