Khaghani's Different Interpretations and Readings of Reason

Seyedeh Parnian Daryabari (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This article examines the different themes of reason in Khaqani"s poetry collection to explain the prismatic and multifaceted view of this famous poet on reason. Although Khaqani pays attention to the category of reason in several instances in his poetry collection, he cannot be considered an absolute rationalist poet or, on the contrary, an anti-rationalist poet.

METHODOLOGY: The research is a theoretical study conducted in the manner of library research. The scope and community of the study were Khaqani"s poems by Ziauddin Sajjadi, published by Markaz Publishing House.

FINDINGS: Although Khaqani"s diverse and rich world and his complete attention to verbal and spiritual arts and the creation of novel combinations, take the status and prestige of this unique poet beyond limiting him to the circle of rationalism and such approaches, what emerges from his poems indicates that he was not indifferent to the fundamental issues of existence. This can be seen from his strong attack on philosophy and philosophers on the one hand and his criticism of superstition and superstition on the other.

CONCLUSION: Khaqani"s view of reason and his understanding of this category are fundamentally different in the face of Sharia, wisdom, and love. What is at issue is Khaqani"s different reading of reason and the superiority and privilege of love over reason in his view.
