Acclaimed legal scholar George Anastaplo traces the philosophical development of the idea of free inquiry from PlatoÕs Apology to Socrates to John MiltonÕs Areopagitica. He describes how these seminal texts and others by such diverse thinkers as St. Paul, Thomas More, and John Stuart Mill influenced the formation and the earliest applications of the First Amendment.
