自由的学术和言论是需要抗卫的

“To impose any straight jacket upon the intellectual leaders in our colleges and universities 
would imperil the future of the nation. No field of education is so thoroughly comprehended by man that new discoveries cannot yet be made. 
Particularly is that true in the social sciences where few, if any, principles are accepted as absolute”.
--Chief Justice Earl Warren (1957)--




“学术自由不同于普通的言论自由,
它的目的是要学术工作者负起一个特殊的社会责任:辨别是非
尤其是挑战主流价值与普世价值,找出其中的谬误与盲点,
以期引导社会走出世袭的桎梏与盲从,
从而迈向更好的未来。
这才是学术的本务,以及无可替代的职责!”
--彭明辉 (2012)--
