Explaining Freedom in the Literature of "Mohammadreza Sangari" Based on Neo-Sadrian Thought

Abstract

An analysis of the relationship between the literature of Mohammadreza Sangari and Neo-Sadrian philosophy, particularly concerning the concept of freedom, reveals a deep interconnection between these two domains. Sangari, employing a poetic and emotive language, has translated complex philosophical concepts into a simple and accessible form for the general public. This approach has contributed to the removal of philosophy from the exclusivity of elites, making it a subject of public interest. Moreover, the concept of freedom in Sangari’s poetry and Neo-Sadrian philosophy is rooted in shared foundations. Both emphasize the unity of being, movement toward perfection, the role of love and knowledge in human life, and the struggle against oppression and injustice. By drawing on his personal experiences, Sangari has linked philosophical concepts to the everyday lives of people, facilitating a more practical engagement with these ideas. In summary, Sangari’s literature has played multiple roles in expanding philosophical culture. Through the democratization of philosophy, the establishment of an emotional connection with the audience, serving as a model for younger generations, promoting humanistic values, and fostering a spirit of inquiry and critical thinking, his literary works have given philosophy a more popular and accessible dimension. Consequently, it can be argued that Sangari’s literature, acting as a bridge between philosophy and literature, has significantly contributed to the elucidation and expansion of the concept of freedom in Neo-Sadrian philosophy. Overall, this analysis demonstrates that Sangari’s literature is not merely a literary work but also a powerful tool for the dissemination of philosophy and human values. A study of Sangari’s works enables a deeper understanding of philosophical concepts, including the notion of freedom.
