The Fall of Oppositions and the Originality of Relative Attitude in the Thought System of Molavi

The Fall of Oppositions and the Originality of Relative Attitude in the Thought System of Molavi Abstract The unconventional and beautiful structure of Masnavi requires that the reader in order to understand deeper and to get more artistic enjoyment of Molavi’s words, does not encounter the Masnavi’s text world with his lingual and mental conventional familiar patterns. Also the semantic schema of Masnaviremains ignored and hidden without considering the semantic grounds and organic link of pieces and components of the textin reductionist reading. Accordingly, the present study by considering one of the epistemological and ontological approaches of Molavi explains the manner and reason of the fall of oppositions and the originality of relative attitudeand the cohesion in Masnavi. The present study shows that how Molavi goes beyond the closed and repetitive fence of this structure in spite of the presence of binary oppositions in Masnavi. Avoiding making definite and final conclusion and seeing the concepts in coherence and spectral view are among Molavi’s infrastructure principles in thinking throughout Masnavi which is transferred to the reader through expressions like “from the viewpoint”, “different directions”. “from perspective”, “in relation to”, “towards you”, “on one hand”, etc. This article by re-reading some of the stories of Masnavi –which are outlined with this fundamental idea-, shows that how concepts in slippery and fluid form join together in the universality of Masnavi. Also by looking closely the outlining of some of these concepts for several times; this fact would be highlighted that in Masnavi no concept is defined once and for all but each of them is outlined many times - from a specific perspective and angle- so that the reader would not consider any meaning as the final one and awaits another aspect of that in another line, story or volume. Keywords: Binary Oppositions, Relative Attitude, Multiplicity of Meaning, Molavi, Masnavi. __________________________________________________
