Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: With the Mashrute revolution in Iran, Persian literature experienced a huge transformation in terms of form and content. With the transformation of theoretical perspectives and various ways of thinking in the country, the topics and themes of literary works also changed in general, and literature served this political-social movement and began one of its most influential periods in the history of Persian literature. The purpose of writing this article is to examine the intellectual dimensions of prominent authors of the constitutional era (Akhundzadeh, Hassan Rushdieh, Mirza Malkam Khan, Talebov, Zain al Abedin Maraghei, and Yusuf Khan Mostashar al Douleh).

METHODOLOGY: This research was done in a descriptive-analytical way.

FINDINGS: In the study of the intellectual aspects of the authors of the Mashrute era, six components of the importance of western style education, special attention to law and legality, a new look at the concept of freedom, modernism, and the fight against traditionalism, rationalism, and westernism are evident.

CONCLUSION: The type and expression of these thoughts are suitable for each character, from "complete negation of religious thoughts" (Akhundzadeh), to "opportunistic encounter with religious thoughts" (Mirza Malkom and Talebov) and the approach of "religious return to ancient Iran" (Hasan Rushdieh). , "Limited acceptance of religious thought in the framework of adapting to Western civilization" (Mirza Youssef Mostashar al-Douleh) and "Acceptance and defense of religious civilization and Islamic ideas against Western civilization" (Haj Zain al Abedin Maraghei) are observed.
