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.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN FORMS OF OPPRESSION FROM AN ECOFEMINIST AND DECOLONIAL PERSPECTIVE
Kesikkulak, Umut; Parkan, Barış; İbrahimhakkıoğlu, Fulden; Department of Philosophy (2022-2-11)
This thesis investigates the interconnections between forms of oppression and the role of oppression of nonhuman nature in these interconnections by implementing a conceptual and logical analysis of the oppressive subjectivity, which functions to create, maintain, and justify oppression. A close reading of the studies of ecofeminist philosophers Karen Warren and Val Plumwood will reveal that dualist thinking is the necessary condition for justifying the oppressor's superiority, which is essential to justify...
Political truth, epistemological challenges of populism and post-truth
Kerem, Özcan; Grıffıth, James Edmond Carr; Department of Philosophy (2023-1)
This thesis explores the place of truth in our contemporary public discourse and the epistemological challenges it faces. It takes a look at the perceived distortion of factual reality in the form of increased lies and untruths through the contribution of the nearly all-encompassing concept of “post-truth”. The thesis highlights the central role played by the Internet and new communication mediums in the development of the post-truth condition and emphasizes the novelty they bring about. I use the works of ...
RETHINKING HUMAN RIGHTS WITH ARENDT: CRISIS AND PARADOX FOR NON-CITIZENS BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE
Fırat, Merve; Çırakman Deveci, Aslı; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2022-12-29)
The thesis aims to understand and analyze Hannah Arendt's understanding of human rights which is developed over the mass of stateless/non-citizen people that she identified in the gap between theory and practice. From the perspective of the study, there are naturalistic conception and political conception approaches in the human rights literature on the theoretical level. Arendt, on the other hand, develops a critical perspective on human rights by expressing the human rights crisis experienced by stateless...
Nationalist bias in Turkish official discourse on hate speech: a Rawlsian criticism
Deveci, Cem (2019-01-01)
This article analyzes the approach in Turkey on hate speech by evaluating legal regulations, decisions and public responses. We argue that the Turkish case cultivates neither a lenient, nor a restrictive response to hate speech, because a strong nationalist bias seems to be at work in interpreting, penalizing or allowing hate speech. The peculiarity of the Turkish case stems from a prejudice that hate speech might be conducted only against the nation, unity of the state, or the principles of regime, rather ...
Ethics Teaching in Higher Education for Principled Reasoning: A Gateway for Reconciling Scientific Practice with Ethical Deliberation
Akozer, Mehmet; Akozer, Emel (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-06-01)
This paper proposes laying the groundwork for principled moral reasoning as a seminal goal of ethics interventions in higher education, and on this basis, makes a case for educating future specialists and professionals with a foundation in philosophical ethics. Identification of such a seminal goal is warranted by (1) the progressive dissociation of scientific practice and ethical deliberation since the onset of a problematic relationship between science and ethics around the mid-19th century, and (2) the e...
