Over de begrenzingen van de vrije meningsuiting

debate
13.12.2011

With Michel Genet, executive director Greenpeace, Lieven de Cauter, cultural philosopher, Maarten Boudry, philosopher UGent; John Vandaele (moderator)

How far can campaigners go before their actions cross the boundary of
‘democratic propriety’? Can one restrictively interpret ‘free
expression’ as that which is put forward verbally, in writing or in
pictures? Where does a democratic society set the threshold of tolerance
with regard to action that goes further than simply proclaiming an
idea? When does an action stop being an act of free expression and
degenerate into vandalism, hooliganism or worse?
