Philosophy<br />
Threats to democracy are on the rise: the electoral successes<br />
of right-wing populist parties in Sweden and<br />
Italy, the erosion of the rule of law in Hungary and<br />
Poland, and conflicts with autocratic regimes are all<br />
signs of this, and go hand in hand with the loss of<br />
democratic civic culture. Cancel culture is part of an<br />
increasingly anti-democratic practice. This makes it all<br />
the more important to defend humanism and enlightenment<br />
against intolerance, ignorance, propaganda<br />
and the refusal to engage in debate. This book offers an<br />
incisive contribution to that endeavour from a philosophical<br />
perspective.<br />
