Flames of Passion is a collection of aphorisms on feelings and emotions, a subject that has preoccupied the minds of writers and thinkers from different fields since ancient times. These aphorisms can be read independently or together and as responses to the insights of the aphorists of the past, as a chain of introspection can be formed across generations. Humans are sentient beings and yet the nature of emotive phenomena and the origin of feelings often evade them. This book is a modest attempt to confront this elusive subject.

Towards a Genealogy of Spectacle is an exploration of contemporary experience of spectacle in its multiple layers, as it attempts to expose the forces that are at work in the making of spectacular events. It sets before itself two goals: to understand the language of spectacle, and to dissect the pathos of spectacle of contemporary society. In an age that is saturated with technology and the products of mass media, it aims to show how and why grand artistic spectacles are needed for the life and health of a culture. The book engages with the ideas of various thinkers from Kant and Schopenhauer to Foucault and Debord on the subject and aims to open up new spaces for thinking and is an invitation to spectacle-makers towards a fusion of art and philosophy. --- "In Towards a Genealogy of Spectacle Yunus Tuncel shows what it means to reflect, once again, Nietzsche's claim of aesthetic justification of life in the height of our time. He does not just accept this claim, but rather renews it by thoughtfully bringing before our eyes how spectacle could be thought of as a place for the gathering of creative forces." (Arno Böhler, Wien)

Provides a comprehensive study of Nietzsche's relationship to the agonistic culture of ancient Greece. The book examines not only the overt elements of Greek agonism in Nietzsche's early works, but also shows how his later works embody its spirit as it is manifest in such notions as the will to power, the overhuman and "active justice."
