Censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing that is deemed subversive of the common good. It occurs in all manifestations of authority to some degree, but in modern times it has been of special importance in its relation to government and the rule of law.’ How would you define censorship, and what is, in any given society, the ‘common good’? Do you think censorship achieves this, or do you think the ‘rule of law’ renders censorship into a social fact that panders to the cultural majority? With a specific example, make a concrete argument about censorship, the common good, and the pitfalls of majoritarianism, borrowing upon one or more of the theorists we have read in class.
