Examining hate speech from the perspective of Arendt's political theory

Bu makale, nefret söylemi tartışmalarına Hannah Arendt'in teorik çalışmalarına dayanan bir siyaset felsefesi ışığında katkı sunmayı amaçlamıştır. Arendt doğrudan nefret söylemi tartışmasına değinmemiş olmasına rağmen, önerdiği siyaset felsefesi, siyasal bir özne ve kamusal hayatın bir parçası olmanın koşulu olan söze yaptığı vurgu nedeniyle tartışmaya ve incelemeye değer görülmüştür. Bu çalışma, Arendt'in sunduğu teorik çerçevenin, nefret söyleminin sınırlanması konusunda belirli çekinceler içerdiğini tartışmakla birlikte, Arendt'in siyaset felsefesinin nefret söylemi ile ilgili probleme dair ipuçları verdiğini ve nefret söylemini felsefi düzeyde eleştirmek için imkan sağladığını savunmuştur

Nefret söyleminin Arendt'in teorik perspektifinden incelenmesi

This paper intends to contribute debate on hate speech from the perspective of political theory derived from Hannah Arendt's theoretical works. Although Arendt does not deal with hate speech head-on, her theory has been selected for this study partly due to the strong emphasis on speech as a precondition for being a part of public life and political being. This study argues that although Arendt would have certain reservations about the restriction of hate speech, her conceptual framework gives us clues about what is wrong with hate speech and at least displays a minimal philosophical criticism of hate speech
