Poetry and Philosophy from Homer to Nazım
Neither Homer nor the last poet, Nazım, was the first poet to embrace that power, the magic of words, that surrounds and shakes people...
However, they were two great poets who were 'legendary' in this geography and the world, and they are our citizens...
While Homer carries the pain of Hector, who calls out to the iron heart of the gods with the earthen heart of man, to today and tomorrow; Nazım conveyed to us the longing of his sheikh, Bedreddin, who was swinging on the branch of a leafless fig tree so that we could all eat honeyed figs together, and he will convey it to those after us...
This work by Kenan Sarıalioğlu deals with the relationship between poetry and philosophy from Ancient Greece to Modern Turkish Literature. It examines philosophy's treatment of poetry in terms of ontological (Aristotle), idealist philosophy (Hegel), ontology of art (Hartmann), phenomenological (Bachelard), existentialism (Sartre) and nihilist philosophy (Cioran).
Political Philosophy from Plato to Mao
This book invites you to take a grand tour through the broad field of political philosophy. This journey will be guided by the timelines placed before each chapter, our maps placing each theory within its technical and social context.
Along the way, we will follow a comprehensive route that can be claimed to constitute a history of civilization. We will start with the Chinese Empire in the Far East and then examine the city states of Ancient Greece. We will cross the Tyrrhenian Sea and go to Machiavelli's Italy, then head north to the England of Hobbes's Leviathan and Locke's civil rights, torn apart by civil war. Finally, we will pass through France, Germany and Russia and complete the journey with Chairman Mao's little Red Book in the 20th century. But in the meantime, we won't be ordinary political travelers taking random photos. We will aim to fully explore and closely examine what we find. We will not only recognize the main features of the texts, but also take out our magnifying glass and examine them in detail to understand why and how they were created.
This story is neither one of evolutionary nor technological nor economic progress; It is merely the story of political society. It is the story of a powerful idea that has been around for thousands of years but appears in different guises. It is a story told in the language of political philosophy, in the words of only a handful of writers.
We present this valuable work with Hamdi Bravo's translation and Martin Cohen's Afterword special for the Turkish edition.
Space, Time and Motion from Copernicus to Einstein
This book purports to be a small introduction to the big problems of space, time and motion. People have been thinking about space and time with great interest and even fanaticism for more time than can be remembered.
Why do we need to know whether the Sun revolves around the Earth or vice versa?
What about us?
As soon as we raise these questions, we realize their stupidity. The answer is simple: We don't want to move blindly through the universe. We want more than 'just existing'. We need these cosmic perspectives to experience a sense of our place in the universe.
This valuable work of the famous philosopher of science Hans Reichenbach covers everything from Ptolemy to Copernicus and Galileo; It deals with the history of space, time and motion from Newton to Einstein in a clear style.
