Positioning and Being in Relation: Exploring the Limits of Cognition in Molavi's Thought

Epistemological questions have long been central to Western philosophical thought. Philosophers have engaged in discussions regarding ancient Greece, contemporary philosophical currents, limitations of various types of cognition, and strategies to overcome these limitations. These differing opinions have influenced both philosophy and other sciences, with each philosophical stance giving rise to various positions in different fields. Additionally, addressing epistemological questions has led to conflicts among various ways of understanding the world. There are significant overlaps between theological, mystical, and philosophical thoughts on these topics. Key epistemological questions, such as the limits of cognition and how to transcend them, are prevalent in mystical and theological reflections, emphasizing concepts like existence, truth, discovery, concealment, intuition, categorical imperative, nonexistence, language, and silence. In the context of Western phenomenological tradition, particularly in the views of Martin Heidegger, the interrelations among these concepts can be examined through Heidegger's philosophy. His ontological analysis reveals that knowledge is a concrete matter shaped by the subject's involvement, with Dasein varying in connection to its past, present, and future (projection, projection, and projection). This research analyzed the relationship between cognition and understanding within the framework of Dasein’s being-in-situation, focusing on the intellectual system of Molavi, particularly in "Fihi Ma Fihi" and "Mathnawi". It explored how cognition and errors in Molavi's thought changed based on human conditions, positions, and prior understandings.
