Abstract (EN)
This work, in essence, places Benedict de Spinoza's concept of hilarity in front of the breaks, fracral distributions, and mournful forms of existence that desire collective unity.This concept of hilarity refers to the threshold of a intensity, with the body and mind affected as a whole. Of course, all this intensity; can be formed by the organization of encounters, relationships that will be established, collective unity. In this context, Spinoza's concept of hilarity is an effective concept that expresses the possibilities of a good life from ontology to ethics, from ethics to politics. All this will try to show the possibilities of a political transformation in a century when man cannot connect with his own environment, cannot transform the immanent possibilities of nature in which he is already living, and with it he cannot transform and change himself. Because the thought of stagnation and the graying of time is in everyone's mind. It continues to dominate the philosophical, ontological and political climate in which grief constantly increases its presence with a blurred image associated with it. In this case, the body is in a completely inert position. If there is no body, there is no hilarity. If there is no hilarity , there is no movement. In the shadow of all this; the threshold is reached where decomposition increases strongly. It is not difficult to see that all the possibilities of human existence are atomized.It is not difficult to see that all the possibilities of human existence are atomized. Accordingly, it can also be seen that loneliness, simplification, and abstraction are constantly on the agenda. In Spinoza's philosophy, the concept of hilarity creates collective unity against it. This notion of hilarity, which marks the active existence of hilarious multiplicity, suddenly changes the color of time, eliminates the blurry image, and turns time into a festival.
