Marketplace Of Ideas
The marketplace of ideas is a rationale for freedom of expression based on an analogy to the Economics, economic concept of a free market. The marketplace of ideas holds that the truth will emerge from the competition of ideas in free, transparent public discourse and concludes that ideas and ideologies will be culled according to their superiority or inferiority and widespread acceptance among the population. The concept is often applied to discussions of patent law as well as freedom of the press and the responsibilities of the media in a liberal democracy. History Support for competing ideas and robust debate can be found in the philosophy of John Milton in his work ''Areopagitica'' in 1644 and also John Stuart Mill in his book ''On Liberty'' in 1859. The general idea that free speech should be tolerated because it will lead toward the truth has a long history. English poet John Milton suggested that restricting speech was not necessary because "in a free and open encounter" tru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
