[Commlist] Philosophy and Journalism special journal issue published

Tue Oct 21 18:41:27 GMT 2025


Ashley Woodward is pleased to announce the publication of a special issue of the journal /Parrhesia /on the topic "Free Speech: Philosophy and Journalism," guest edited by Valerie Vino. The issue is free to read online via the link below.

In the ante-mortem series of lectures, our contemporary Michel Foucault excavates a vital cultural matter. The philosopher canvasses diverse critical exercises as possible stepping stones to an occasion of “truth-telling.” The classic authors called this aptitude and right – parrhesia, an apposite problem for any age. To iterate Foucault, where and how can one learn to become the person “who speaks and who, regardless of everything, takes the risk of telling the whole truth” in a given situation, and is willing to accept the consequences? This special volume of Parrhesia: A Journal of Critical Philosophy aims to drum up interest in this credo in relation to philosophical and journalistic practices, with particular regard to corresponding critical education.
