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] |

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 ...

She has written two speculative fiction novels for young adults: ''Candor'', published in 2009, and ''Drought'', published in 2011.

Many reviews for the ''Divergent'' novels criticize the social structures that create the factions within the novel.
