Get Serious about the Ridiculous : Manifesto for the Critique of Exaggeration

Cejvan, Ervik LU (2022) In Logoi.ph – Rivista di filosofia, Journal of Philosophy 8(19:2). p.307-315
Abstract
This theoretical exposition proposes the critique of exaggeration as the approach to any philosophy that deals with the so-called existential themes. It provides the example of exaggeration in thinking beyond being in contrast to the question of being without exaggeration. Finally, it proposes the critique of exaggeration as a philosophical attitude that resists the temptation to seriously engage in rational evaluation of what we clearly and distinctly recognize as ridiculous. The strength of this philosophical attitude is laughter.
Abstract (Swedish)
Abstract in Italian

Questa esposizione propone in maniera teoretica una critica dell’esagerazione come approccio utile a qualsiasi filosofia che si occupi dei cosiddetti temi esistenziali. Si segue l’esempio dell’esagerazione per proporre un pensare oltre l’essere, in contrasto con la questione dell’essere senza esagerazione. Infine, si propone la critica propria dell’esagerazione come atteggiamento filosofico, che resiste alla tentazione di impegnarsi seriamente nella valutazione razionale di ciò che riconosciamo chiaramente e distintamente come ridicolo. La forza di questo atteggiamento filosofico è il riso.
