| Summary: | The dangers to freedom of expression are not always linked to frontal attacks, as is the charge of blasphemy. The freedom-destroying rhetoric increasingly takes on the appearance of the defence of human rights. Thus, religious freedom, the rejection of hate speech and the right to reputation (a correlative of the concept of defamation) – to name but three notions – can serve to endanger freedom of expression. This is almost invisible for those who do not seriously criticize the concepts used, since the “ugly word” of blasphemy is no longer pronounced and very politically correct concepts come to play the role of “censors” of free expression in its place. In this article I would like to provide some elements of deconstruction of this perilous rhetoric for freedoms. |
