Hakim Sanaaʹee Ghaznaviʹs point of view About he place of poets and poetry in the cosmos

Hakim Sanaaʹee Ghaznavi is one of the few poets who have deeply thought about the place and the position of poetry and poets in the world and the cosmos. He has presented a structured and a firm plan in this area. Based on the existential hierarchy, in his plan, Hakim Sanaaʹee Ghaznavi has defined the position of poetry in the cosmos and has considered the poet having the third rank after Nabi and Vali. Based on the same philosophy, these three ranks are related to each other, but there is a difference; the first two ranks are directly related to God and the third one, the poet, is not. To have such a point of view, Hakim Sanaaʹee Ghaznavi has used three main sources of thought; the Greek source, the Islamic source and Sufism. The writer of this article has studied and analyzed this point of view.
