Flames of Passion: Towards of a Genealogy of Feeling Aphorisms

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.
