"Aeropagitica" is a pamphlet written by John Milton in 1644, advocating for the freedom of the press and opposing censorship. The title is a play on words, suggesting a call for "open" or "free" publication, derived from the Greek term "aeropagitikos," referring to the Athenian court of the Areopagus, known for its role in matters of public speech and opinion. Milton argues that ideas should be freely exchanged to promote truth and understanding, emphasizing the importance of intellectual freedom in society.
