Saeideh A’yanfard , Mohammad Ali Shafa’i (Author in Charge), Ashraf Chegini

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The science of hermeneutics examines the flow of understanding and its methods. What is the text, what is the meaning, what signs are there to reach this meaning and what is the role of the audience in front of the text. The origin of this science goes back to the interpretation of holy texts. Trying to understand the true meaning that only the possessors of knowledge can understand.

METHODOLOGY: The method of data collection was library and descriptive-analytical method was used for data analysis.

FINDINGS: The topic under discussion in the science of hermeneutics is texts, and how the audience understands the text and their unanswered questions is a topic that is followed in this science. Traditional hermeneutics believe that the text has a definite meaning that must be discovered. In contrast to modern hermeneutics, they have declared the death of the author, in the sense that the text is re-created with each reading. Hermeneutic discussions have also been extended to literary texts due to the similarities between literary texts and holy texts, and one of the books that has a lot of potential for analysis from the hermeneutic angle is Masnawi Ma"ani.

CONCLUSION: The results of the research show that Rumi has used donkey, snake, wolf, dog, lion, cow, mouse, etc. in order of frequency as a symbol to introduce the self.
