Abstract :
Frankfort school is a philosophical, intellectual source founded by German intellectuals in 20th century with a socio-critical approach. The aesthetic theory tends to be the most principal drive of this school. Unlike the proponents of the theory- the submission method of two sociology schools: (a) old traditional (Madam Duvstal and Hippolyte Taine) who just focused on social issues in the literature, and (b) newer traditional (George Koumaj and Lucien Goldman) who could not surpass the social interests and the structure of social unit- the thinkers of Frankfort school believe in the informativeness, independence, logical and revolutionary nature of art and try to evaluate the originality of an artistic work based on theses insights. This paper deals with four above-mentioned concepts, i.e. the critical aspect of art, the ideological nature of art (political component), revolutionary approach, and the independence nature of artistic work. Analysin the story of ‘Lion and forest animals’ of Moulavi, it was revealed that-unlike the surface layer in which most scholars of Masnavi deal with- in the underlying layers of the this story, there resides a special revolutionary, critical and mystical style.
