        Man is a creature who has excited so many intellectuals' attention to itself since times immemorial, and has been examined and analyzed from various aspects. Besides, a host of re-known mystics and philosophers have considered and overseen human being over the years. However, it is almost difficult to reach a definition concluding literal and verbal differences of the views. It seems necessary, though, to examine and approximate intellectuals’ attitudes in this regard. In order to determine the concept of human being, the researcher has aimed to deal with human strengths and weaknesses studied and considered by well-known and outstanding icons such as Spinoza and Rumi. In addition, some similarities between Rumi's “perfect man” and Spinoza's “rational man” have been viewed and analyzed. As a final effort, by referring to these two scholars, this study  has intend to depict how the powerless man surrounded by passion and carnal desires achieves virtue and fortune and wins the highest human rank Manuscript profile

        Introduction Architecture, as a physical manifestation of a society's culture, throughout history, besides being affected by cultural interactions, political changes and social reforms, has also influenced the behavioral patterns of society's people. An example of this influence can be seen in the façade of urban buildings, which have found a disjointed structure in recent years. Considering people's acceptance of neoclassical (Roman) facades and the increase of this type of façade construction in metropolises, the present research seeks to investigate the causes of citizens' tendency to use Roman facades in buildings. Methodology The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method. Lisrel and SPSS software and path analysis tests and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data and prove the hypothesis test.Geographical area of research The study area of the research is a district of Tehran city, which along with its boundaries has an area of about 181 square kilometers and according to the latest census results in 2015, it has a population equal to 494 thousand people.Results and discussion Investigations about the influence of economic, social, cultural and aesthetic factors on the tendency of citizens to use neoclassical facades and data analysis show the proof of research hypotheses. So that according to the output of Lisrel software, the values of the index with factor loadings greater than 0.3 and t-statistics higher than 1.96 are acceptable, economic factors, social factors, cultural factors and aesthetic factors respectively with values T (3/69), (2/07), (4/12) and (9/00) all correctly cover the variables and are valid. Conclusion The results of this research show that the effective factors in the tendency of citizens to use common facades are outside the framework of approved rules and laws. As long as the principles and rules for the design and implementation of facades are not developed, the process of façade construction being affected by cultural, social and economic conditions will continue.

        4 - Human Desires in Abhar al-Ashiqin and Sarh al-shathiyyat; An Analysis with Regard to Abstract and Concrete Propositions
        Zohreh Fahami Hasan por alashti Maseod Rohani Mosafa Gorji

        Every human being has aspirations and desires that seeks them. Recognition of human desires helps the individual to seek moral and psychological desires instead of quarreling over social, individual, and collective desires in order to have a meaningful life and achieve his/her innate desires, including peace. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine Rouzbahan Baghli's view on the most important human desires. The abstraction and concreteness of propositions that represent their individuality and universality are important in mystical literary discourse. The question is whether the mystics have confused their followers with their universal propositions or have increased the certainty of their words with concrete sentences and guided their followers in a certain direction. Roozbehan has presented his experiences in metaphorical language in Abhar al-Ashiqin, and in Sarh al-shathiyyat, he offers a realistic method for interpreting surrealistic subjects and writes both texts concretely using a variety of descriptive methods. According to him, individual and collective social desires should be for perfection and the acquisition of moral desires, such as loving, and lead man to intrinsic and spiritual desires such as peace and meaning.

        Epictetus divides the affairs of the world into two categories: the external world, which was organized by Zeus, and human being has no freedom or responsibility in this area. The inner world: which is completely under the control of human responsibility. Epictetus considers the inner world in three areas: rational judgments or beliefs, feelings and emotions, desires and avoidances. According to Epictetus, rational judgments are the most important of the inner realms and determine the other realms. Epictetus gives many examples and conversations to prove that rational judgments are the cause of feelings and emotions and desires. Therefore, feelings and emotions as well as desires are the result of the functioning of the reason. If the function of the reason is correct, it results in good feelings and logical desires, and if the function of the reason is imperfect, it leads to negative emotions and unreasonable desires.The Stoics, unlike Plato and Aristotle, do not believe in non-cognitive elements in the human mind and consider the human mind as a rational whole. They refer all feelings and emotions to rational beliefs. "Epictetus also considers the human mind to be rational. Manuscript profile
