This article aims to reconstruct a Millian argument for protecting a broad artistic freedom, as well as to delineate the exceptional cases in which censorship of works of art might be justified. Mill's On Liberty offers two lines of reasoning that might be used to defend the widest possible artistic freedom. The first is Mill's defense of freedom of speech in chapter 2, although this would apparently still allow for censoring art that serves to instigate harm. The second is his defense of “experiments in living” in chapter 3, but this might allow for censoring the exhibition or publication of artworks that constitute “offences against decency.” While this Millian doctrine on artistic freedom provides guidelines for coping with difficult cases in arts management, its limitations highlight the peculiarities of the arts and literature in relation to freedom and censorship.

JS Mill 谈艺术自由和审查

本文旨在重构米利式的论点,以保护广泛的艺术自由,并描述可能对艺术作品进行审查的特殊情况。米尔斯论自由提供了两条推理路线,可用于捍卫尽可能广泛的艺术自由。首先是密尔在第 2 章中对言论自由的辩护,尽管这显然仍然允许审查用于煽动伤害的艺术。第二个是他在第 3 章中为“生活中的实验”辩护,但这可能会允许审查构成“有损体面罪”的艺术品的展览或出版。虽然这种关于艺术自由的米利学说为处理艺术管理中的难题提供了指导方针,但其局限性突出了艺术和文学在自由和审查方面的特殊性。
