Abstract

The review analyses a monograph published by Peter Lang Publishing in 2024 and authored by Tomas Kačerauskas and Algis Mickunas, the book focuses on the lived experience and structures of awareness that make communication possible. Their approach centres on the difference between freedom of speech and free speech. Freedom of speech is a right, as legally granted by a government. Free speech, in one sense, sits at the basis of civilisation.
