The chapter focuses on aspects and issues related to the concept of academic freedom. In the first section, the historical development of academic freedom is presented. It shows its institutionalestablishment, rationale, changes over time and embedding in the overall conception of the role of universities in society. In the second section, various aspects of academic freedom, such as the relationships and conflicts between academic freedom as an institutional right versus academic freedom as a right of individual faculty or academic freedom as special rights accruing to faculty versus academic freedom as a right to general freedom of speech, are discussed. In the third and final section, the chapter assesses the discussion to date on the themes and tensions in academic freedom, and its relationship to general freedom of speech.
