Spinoza’da Fortitudo ve Barış Üzerine
This text has been automatically translated from Turkish. Show Original
For Spinoza, life under the guidance of reason is not a life free of emotions, but a life in which we can direct emotions in a way that will make both our individual and social lives more perfect. Therefore, the issue of maintaining social life in harmony and peace is not about creating anonymous citizens who are free from their desires; It is about supporting each individual to live guided by active desires. This approach, which gives integrity to Spinoza's ethical-political-metaphysical thought, aims to establish a fine balance between the absolute affirmation of the singular and the maintenance of social existence in peace and harmony. In this context, we learn the following from Spinoza: Thinking that I can cause joy in others increases my joy and power to act. Not only in terms of the unification of forces, but also how I conceive of my thoughts about others and my position among them determines my positive transformation. If we are to talk about solidity as a desire that determines my effort to remain in individual existence, this desire is possible if my image of myself, that is, my image of my position among other singularities, is also positive. When we think like this, magnanimity, that is, the act of approaching those who hate me with love, should not be seen as an act of reciprocity, but as a rational life strategy that emerges together with solidity and is preferred for the increase of individual and collective power. These two active desires are the true sources of Spinoza's understanding of peace.
