In the Heaven of Sepehri, a New Window but Not half-open

Pages 41-59

Zahra Parsapoor

Abstract Abstract
Sepehri’s poetry is potentially much suitable for philosophical and theosophical criticism. Soroosh Dabaghi, loving theosophy and philosophy on the one hand and praising Sepehri’s view and language, attempts in his book to study Sepehri’s thought about some key words. In the Heaven of Sepehri, a collection of articles, speeches, and interviews was published in 2014 by Farhanghe Mo’aser. In 2015 he published The Philosophy of Lajevardi on the same subject. In this collection he addresses such issues as meaning of wind and rain in Sepehri’s poems, contemplation on the meaning of sorrow, death, glorified act, land of nothingness, and introducing modern theosophy and its differences with that of classic and Sepehri’s connection to this kind of theosophy. In this article, besides having critical analysis on the form and structure of the book, we attempt to criticize its methodology and author’s success in explaining it. Due to the closeness of articles approach with his expertise, he is successful in opening up new horizon in Sepehri’s study. However, many of the subjects introduced by the author remains explained while it suffers from ambiguities.

A Critique of Nativisim in Persian Prose Literature 1921-1941

Pages 133-153

Marayam AmeliRezaee

Abstract  
Nativisim in Persian Prose Literature 1921-1941, coauthored by Dr. Mustafa Gorji and FarzanehVa’ezade, explores and represents instances of nativist elements found in journals, dramas, logbooks and prose fiction published from 1921 to 1941, tracing nativist trends during these years. The nativist elements are classified into national and religious categorizes and examples of each type are studied accordingly. Although its style is simple and plain, with little grammatical mistakes, and remarkable for its detailed analysis, and although it is the first book on nativist literature written on this period, it failed to do justice to theoretical concepts and identity formation in history. The major fault of the book lie in the fact that most of the authors of the first Pahlavi era wrote their works, which wereexamined in this book, with the purpose of criticizing some of the unfavorable native and cultural aspects, which in most cases theyproved to beundefendable and thus requires correction. These works are marked with critical views on native culture in a way that ignoring them and attempting to prove their nativist nature is essentially an apparent paradox, obviously undermining the central claim of the book in the first place. Moreover, the book suffers from mistakes in the reference sectionwhich can be corrected in the next revision.

Abstract Abstract
This article is a critical examination of "Poetic Treatises of Muslim Philosophers", by seyyed Mehdi Zarghani and Mohammad Hassan Hassanzade. In this article we attempt to show that the translation of poetic treatises of muslim philosophers is not reliable at all, because it is based on non-accurate manuscripts, and translators are not familiar with the findings of other scholars. Also, some of the important parts of the original texts is misunderstood, which makes the translation more unreliable. Moreover, since translators referred to Butiqaye classic as a source for some explanations on texts, it is necessary to examine this book briefly. So, in the first part of the article we examine Butiqaye classic, and in the second part we examine the translation and its shortcomings.
