Hobbes nous dit que le mot « liberté » est spécieux. Il existe de fait un contraste frappant entre la plénitude que peut donner l'énonciation du mot, comme dans le célèbre poème d'Éluard, et le sentiment de vide provoqué par la désolante diversité des usages concrets, parfois ouvertement contradictoires. Tôt ou tard, la réflexion bute sur la polarité de la liberté comme affirmation de l'ordre censé nous protéger de la licence, de l'anarchie ou du nihilisme, c'est-à-dire de la « fausse » liberté, ou comme négation de l'ordre dont les contraintes sont suspectées d'être oppressives et incompatibles avec la « vraie » liberté. Les contradictions entre les conceptions de l'ordre associées à la liberté donnent une justification à la conception de la liberté comme négation. Mais celle-ci est également difficile à tenir car elle risque de nier son objet en basculant dans la licence illimitée. Le conflit entre la liberté comme affirmation et la liberté comme négation n'est pas un défaut du concept. Il faut plutôt dire : la liberté est l'un des concepts qui servent à penser la production historique d'objets par l'activité collective et conflictuelle des hommes. L'oscillation entre ces deux pôles, qui peut être embarrassante au point d'inciter à n'en plus parler, montre que de tels concepts ont une structure ludique, au sens de ce qui fait l'intérêt de jeux intellectuels aussi futiles que les échecs. Ce livre peut se lire comme une introduction au jeu conceptuel de la liberté.

This article brings an implicit problem: How to unite different peoples and cultures, that are in constant tranformation, around a commom project? The democratic regime is the most approprieate for this task, as it respects diferences and combines it with freedom and justice to promote equal opportunities. On the other hand, the union carried out democratically improves democracy, both favoring each other.

"Freedom of speech and extremism in university campuses are a major source of debate and moral panic in the UK today. In 2018, the Joint Committee on Human Rights in Parliament undertook an inquiry into freedom of speech on campus. It found that much of the public concern is exaggerated, but identified a number of factors that require attention, including the impact of government counter-extremism measures (the Prevent Duty) and regulatory bodies (including the Charity Commission for England and Wales) on freedom of speech. This book combines empirical research and philosophical analysis to explore these issues, with particular focus on the impact upon Muslim students and staff. It offers a new conceptual paradigm for thinking about freedom of speech, based on deliberative democracy, and practical suggestions for universities in handling it. Topics covered include: The enduring legacy of key thinkers who have shaped the debate about freedom of speech, the role of right-wing populism in driving moral panic about universities, the impact of the Prevent Duty and the Charity Commission upon Muslim students, students' unions and university managers Students' and staff views about freedom of speech, alternative approaches to handling freedom of speech on campus, including the community of inquiry This highly engaging and topical text will be of interest to those working within public policy, religion and education or religion and politics and Islamic Studies"--
