Thematic Analysis of Mystical Concepts in Moshfeq Kashani's Poetry Based on the Relevance Theory
The article studies some of the most fundamental concepts of Islamic mysticism in Moshfeq Kashani’s poetry. Here, based on the relevance theory, the totality of the poet's mental space is the subject of a thematic analysis. Trust, Certainty, Satisfaction, Recitation (Zikr), Ardour, Supervision, Sufism, Knowledge, Love, Enthusiasm and sufist music and dance (Sama) are the studied concepts. He sometimes verbalizes the mystic term and sometimes crosses the word to deal with the meaning of it, directly. Qushayriyah treatise is used as a criterion for evaluating the totality of intentional and unintentional meanings of the terms in Moshfeq’s poetry. The similarity of the meanings of the above terms in the mentioned texts is understood from the comparative reading of them, and indicates Moshfeq's correct approach to these mystical terms and the adaptation of his mental space to the original mystical teachings. Moreover, the pattern obtained from the thematic classification of these poems shows that Moshfeq's mystical attitude, contrary to what has been deduced from some previous studies, is not one-dimensional, but has at least four axes: "Islamic-Shiite ideology", "Islamic Revolution", "Tavern Terms", And "Eastern mysticism".
