The First Amendment now in Audiobook

You can now listen to a powerful philosophic defense of intellectual freedom.

We are very pleased to announce that Tara Smith’s The First Amendment: Essays on the Imperative of Intellectual Freedom is now available as an audiobook, offering a new way to engage with the book’s content.

Published by ARI Press in 2024, The First Amendment provides a powerful analysis of the philosophical foundations of intellectual freedom and their importance. Shaped by the philosophy of Objectivism, the book explores topics such as religious freedom, “cancel culture,” and the widespread confusion about the meaning of crucial concepts like “freedom” and “censorship.” The book has already received significant attention among advocates of free speech, which you can read about here.

The book is also available for purchase on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
