Phenomenology of Time in the Poetry of H¤ afe¤z, Based on Saint Augustin's Theory of Time

This article is an exploration of the philosophical-artistic view of the narrator on time in H¤ ¦af¦ â¤z' poetry, The theoretical basis of the study has been taken from Paul Ricoeur's Time and narrative and his explanation of the philosophical views of two classical thinkers–Aristotle and St. Augustin–on the phenomenology of time. The article is divided into two sections: theoretical and applied. The first section explains St. Augustin's view of time as the theoretical framework of the study and the second section discusses H¤ ¦af¦ â¤z' poetry within that framework. In line with the classical theory, the linear time is divided into three sections: past, present and future and the poetic images are analyzed based on these three aspects of time.
