Parrhesia
In rhetoric, parrhesia () is candid speech, speaking freely. It implies not only freedom of speech, but the obligation to speak the truth for the common good, even at personal risk. Etymology The earliest recorded use of the term ''parrhesia'' is by Euripides in the fifth century B.C. ''Parrhesia'' means literally "to speak everything" and by extension "to speak freely", "to speak boldly", or " boldness". Usage in ancient Greece In the Classical period, parrhesia was a fundamental component of the Athenian democracy. In the courts or the Ecclesia, the assembly of citizens, Athenians were free to say almost anything. In the Dionysia, playwrights such as Aristophanes made full use of their right to ridicule whomever they chose.. Outside of the theatre or government however, there were limits to what might be said; freedom to discuss politics, morals, religion, or to criticize people would depend upon the context: by whom it was said, and when, and how, and where. If one was s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chesterton, appearing weekly from 1953 to 1960, and in to eight to ten issues per year by 1999, and irregularly published as of 2022.

Chesterton and the Problem of British Fascism, 1915-1973 p. 9: "The LEL (along with Candour's readership) spread beyond England, with local chapters and supporters as far afield as Australia, Rhodesia and New Zealand. Despite its fairly stolid and conservative orientation, the LEL served as a springboard for younger activists who would propel Britain’s extreme right after Chesterton’s death."; see also pp. 213–214: "Chesterton was wary of tarnishing his movement’s reputation with accusatio ...

In UK public law, the duty of candour is the duty imposed on a public authority "not to seek to win litigation at all costs but to assist the court in reaching the correct result and thereby to improve standards in public administration."

Pam Bachorz
Pam Bachorz (born 1973) is an author of speculative fiction from the United States. __NOTOC__ Biography Bachorz was born in 1973 in Salem, Massachusetts. She has written two speculative fiction novels for young adults: ''Candor'', published in 2009, and ''Drought'', published in 2011. ''Candor'', set in the near future, uses a trope common to horror in speculative fiction, that of a small town "malevolently under some kind of mesmeric or unholy control". A review in ''Wired'' magazine described the book's fictional setting as one that would produce "Stepford children", children brainwashed into conformity via subliminal messages. Its protagonist is Oscar Banks, whose father founded the town, and operates its system of indoctrination. Banks pretends to be a conformist, while covertly helping residents escape. Banks encounters a new girl in town, Nia, who has a strikingly different personality, forcing him to decide whether to keep her in town to alleviate his boredom, or help he ...
