 What are the harms of pornography? How should liberal societies respond to the proliferation of harmful pornography? How should liberals conceptualize and balance important values such as equality and freedom of speech? What role should the state play in protecting and promoting values such as autonomy and equality? Can liberal ideals be reconciled with feminist principles and goals? The search for answers to important questions such as these accounts for much of the ongoing philosophical interest in the question of pornography and censorship.
