The Convergence of Art and Mysticism in Iranian-Islamic Culture

The admixture of art and mysticism in Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization is an important issue, without the understanding of which it is impossible to describe Iranian-Islamic culture. The dominant Iranian culture and world view has given art as well as many other categories a religious tint, making it equal to mystical teachings. With the use of lexical knowledge and the etymology of art and mysticism in Persian literature, which is a great manifestation of such categories, the present research endeavors to show that art in this culture is religiously and mystically based and is far from the basics of western aesthetics. A fundamental and important common point in Iranian-Islamic art and mysticism that distinguishes it from the basics of art in the west is its epistemological value. Hence, the article continues to study the similarities between these two categories in the way they achieve knowledge and use it.
