Eternal Sacred Eternal Sacrifice

Why are the series of 'victims' that we all talk about and that the media constantly presents to us in different forms, in reality shows or under the name of news, are so readily available and in our lives? Why do we identify with the victims of disasters, natural disasters and wars on the other side of the world that we see on television, and why do we so easily cry together for these people who have been exposed to the violence of death, and even turn into social solidarity and collect aid? On the other hand, the same people are ready to fight and 'give their lives' to protect the integrity of the country and against possible attacks of internal and external enemies. While fathers and even mothers, as in Turkey, send their sons to military service accompanied by drums and flags, for their 'sacred homeland duty', believing in the superiority of the laws of the state, how can the same parents sacrifice their daughters in the name of customs, disregarding the laws of the state? ?

In modern societies where the functionality of holiness has disappeared, how can 'Sacrifice' emerge as a new social category? The book in your hand pursues these questions and extends from anthropology to the history of religion, social theory and political philosophy... A work that deepens thought, provokes and opens new windows...
