The speech-act turn in free speech theory is best understood,
therefore, not merely as being about pornography, or about hate
speech more generally, but as a new way of thinking about speech,
its value, and its dangers. . . . it is an important new direction,
and one that is both consolidated and taken a step further in much
that is contained in this important collection.
