Abstract :

In the modern age, the aesthetics subject, has become involved the identity crisis and lack of codified theoretical basis. There are no principles arising from Islamic belief basis based on Iranian culture and identity or Islamic mysticism as the most important source of Islamic aesthetics. The researchers have always studied the aesthetic origin and the cause of that from different point of views. But among this, there are two mutual views of which the first one, has known the semantic roots manifested in the existent as the reason and the second one, has known the aesthetic as the effect of human's perception (subject) from the objective aspects of the effect (object). The first approaches are based on the manifestation concept and the second ones are based on the perception concept. Three views selected in the present research include the pre-modern and post- modern aesthetic, the exalted and sensible aesthetic and aesthetic according to the traditionalists and realists (in the Islamic aesthetics). in this research, at first two concepts of manifestation and perception have been studied as the basic concepts. Then the dual approaches belonging to the above subjects were explained. The criteria of these three dual tendencies were extracted and the final conclusions were obtained by their comparison. Mysticism as the main source of beauty in the Islamic world and the manifestation-based approaches in the first category and the perception-based approaches in the second category verified the research hypotheses. This research has been performed in the theoretical aspect and with the librarian studies and by indexation tool. The research method was applied –based research and strategically was the analytical – descriptive research.
