Description
Censorship is the act of restricting the freedom of speech or the press. It can be done by the government, or by individuals. Censorship can be divided into two categories: religious censorship and censorship of factual information. Milton's thesis is that censorship is necessary to protect religious beliefs, and "Censorship and Belief" is the first part of the book that deals with this issue. "Censorship and Fact" deals with the conflict of the interests of science and freedom of speech with those of the state.
Censorship is one of the gauges of civilization, and has always aroused men's partisan feelings. Milton's thesis rests upon the issue of religious belief, and it introduces the book's first part, "Censorship and Belief." With "Censorship and Fact," it moves to the conflict of the interests of science and freedom of speech with those of the state.
