A critique of the concept of democracy in Spinoza's philosophy

As a result of modern thought, democracy is in a paradox today. The reason for this is that democracy is defined within modern boundaries through the idea of modern sovereignty. Since modern thinking has certain limits, the horizon of generating answers is also surrounded by these limits. Even though modern thought offers a more free world against the theory of its predecessors, it is now in a restrictive position in the face of the dynamics of life. Thus, modern democracy provided the legitimacy of this limitation. If democracy is believed to be important, it is necessary to free it from this paradox and to think differently. The aim of this thesis is to free democracy from this clamp. The way to do this is through Spinoza's philosophy. Spinoza is a system thinker. The fiction of the system is also provided by ontology. The concept of democracy is also closely related to Spinoza's ontology. In other words, democracy is inherent in Spinoza's ontology. But historically, this ontological immanence does not immediately reveal itself as a form of political organization. This is due to insufficient knowledge of human himself and about the world.. Every form of political organization, including democracy, is the result of an effort to understand and know the world. This effort is accompanied by desire. So, the first thing to do is to think about democracy together with ontology. The next stage is to deal with democracy in relation to knowledge in the field of experience. At this point, democracy will gain a different meaning and lead to different results. Thus, democracy can be considered independent of modern thought.
