This thesis investigates the Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum, in its relation to setting, symbolic meaning and its afterlife. Crucial to the discussion is the ancient art of memory, through which the Colosseum’s ambivalent role as a means of Imperial power is elucidated. Equally important, the buildings’ iconographic connotations are studied in terms of the architectural orders employed on the façade. The Colosseum’s extended use and its later emblematic significance comprise the concluding discussion of the thesis.

The thought of process in hegel and whitehead: Life and vitality
Karaosmanoğlu, Toprak Seda; Baç, Mutlu Murat; Department of Philosophy (2020-10-22)
The purpose of this thesis is to clarify the thought of process in Hegel and Whitehead in the context of life and vitality. The concept of life has a special place for both Hegel and Whitehead. While for Whitehead, the situation of life in nature is the capital problem of philosophy and science, the concept of life serves as an analogy for Hegel’s own philosophical system, since it offers a model for thinking about development in general. The center of this study is the difficulty in unifying spirit and nat...
