Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This collection investigates the complex intersection of hate, democratic governance, and legal frameworks to determine how states can effectively address hatred without compromising civil liberties. The editors, Birgitte Schepelern Johansen and Thomas Brudholm, curate a series of essays from diverse academic contributors who analyze the historical, philosophical, and legal dimensions of hate. The volume argues that the state's role in regulating hate is fraught with paradoxes, requiring a careful balance between punitive measures and the preservation of democratic values.
