Abstract :
Due to the fact that during the past decade or so the studies and researches conducted on Rumi and his works of art has been on the rise in Iran and the West, the time is ripe that these number of researches with such an inclusive approach could be pathologically investigated. This paper on Rumi studies tries to investigate on two areas on “Rumi Studies and West” as well as “Redundant Studies” during the studies relevant to such a great man of literature, culture, and mysticism of Iran, with an emphasis on academic studies, and the result has been the fact that Iranians are to blame concerning Rumi Studies and West and have neglected the means of cultural interaction with the West through Rumi; Also, in terms of transferring the concepts, information, and the Iranian research conclusions to the West, they have not taken any desirable actions so much that there has been a different image introduced to the West. Moreover, this paper declares the most prominent research plague about Rumi conducted in Iranian research and studies in the form of books, papers, theses, and research plans to be redundancy, parallelism, and plagiarism for which there are some solutions offered to get rid of these plagues and to prevent from further damages.
