        1 - Analysis of the Inherent Characteristics of the Human Soul from the Point of View of the Two Philosophical Schools of Peripatetic and Sankehye

        In Greek philosophy, the later thinkers of Socrates paid more attention to the subject of “anthropology” than their predecessors, and especially in the works of Aristotle, issues related to this subject were presented in a special way. In parallel with him in the East, “ontology” was at the service of “anthropology” from the very beginning, and it received considerable attention, including in the Sankehye school. Naturally, in both intellectual traditions, knowing the human soul has been more important and complex than the human body. The present research is responsible for explaining the intrinsic characteristics of the human soul from the perspective of the founders of the mentioned schools in a comparative way. Although Aristotle considered the soul to be abstract from the monster and the incorporeal, he considered it to be the first perfection of the organic natural body. In his view, the rational soul of man was also the sum of the powers of the vegetable and animal souls. But according to the sage Capila, the soul or Purusha has a very transcendent, transcendental and eternal identity which was neither the cause and the creator of something nor the effect and artifact of something. Purusha is entirely abstract from matter or precreity, but it is the stimulus for the emergence of beings. Belief in the multiplicity of populations is also a necessary necessity for the definition of the soul in peripatetic thought, but considering the attributes of the soul in Sankehya thought, the idea of ​​multiplicity seems very strange.

          In a ghazal with the opening verse “Save the love of those moon of face, a path my heart to it, in every way, I give counsel, but it”. (tran. by H. W. Clarke) Hāfiz Says: “One day, like Alexander, I shall bring to hand that mirror, if this fire, seize it, for a moment, it kindleth not”. Except in the Hagia Sophia edition, in all the other editions the above verse is recorded as it is presented here. But in the Hagia Sophia edition, the very same verse in recorded as follows: “One day, like Alexander, I shall bring to hand that mirror, if this tongue, seize it, for a moment, it kindleth not.” In another verse of the Ghazal, Hāfiz says: “In the midst of weeping, I laugh, because like the candle in this assembly. The fierly tongue is mine; but it kindleth not”. The present article will discuss that the commentators of Divan-e-Hāfez have not noticed the last verse which contains the concept of “the fiery tongue”.     Manuscript profile
