The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Andres Moles (Central European University) on Dworkin, Integrity and Hate Speakers Tuesday, 25 November, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In this paper I analyze three different arguments that Ronald Dworkin has produced to defend the claim that restrictions on hate speech are unjust. The focus of the paper is on the interests that citizens have qua speakers in being allowed to express racist or sexist views, in this respect the paper claims that Dworkin’s arguments do not show that such interests are sufficient for protection. Drawing from some research on social psychology I claim that hate speech is harmful in a justice-relevant manner. If I am correct, then given Dworkin's ideas about integrity and equality of resources, he cannot claim that restricting hate speech fails to treat speakers with less respect and concern.
