Abstract

This paper puts forward a republican view on freedom of expression to discuss the legitimacy of the media's self-regulation of so-called hate speech in Japan. The issues concerning such self-regulation make it evident that the idea of free speech has lost its real meaning and I argue that going back to the idea of republican freedom is indispensable to reconstruct the idea of free expression. By discussing the republican view, I suggest that the problem with the current way of settling the arguments of hate speech is that a third party is eliminated from negotiation processes between the media and complaints.
