نقد و بررسي كتاب بررسي تطبيقي انديشه‌ هاي افلاطون و مولوي

A Comparative Study of Plato and Rumi's Thoughts: A Critical Review

بي ترديد افلاطون متفكر بزرگي است كه تأثير فراواني بر فرهنگ و تمدن غرب و شرق داشته است. نفوذ او به حدي است كه وايتهد كل تاريخ فلسفه را جز حاشيه اي بر او نمي داند. افكار وي در شكل گيري عرفان اسلامي نيز مؤثر افتاده و در اين خصوص سخن فراوان رفته است، اما توجه به اين نكته ضروري است كه آشنايي ما معمولاً با خود افلاطون كم تر است و بيش تر افلاطوني را مي شناسيم كه افلوطين و جالينوس معرفي كرده اند. كتاب بررسي تطبيقي انديشه هاي افلاطون و مولوي تلاشي است در جهت نشان دادن تأثير افلاطون در انديشه هاي عرفاني مولوي شاعر و عارف بزرگ قرن هفتم هجري. در اين مقاله، ضمن معرفي اين اثر به نكاتي انتقادي اشاره مي شود كه مي تواند در چاپ بعدي آن مؤثر افتد.

It goes without saying that Plato is a great thinker who has exercised a great influence on the Western and Eastern culture and civilization. His influence goes to the extent that Whitehead considers the whole philosophy of the West nothing other than a footnote on Plato's philosophy. His thoughts were effective in fashioning Islamic gnosis. In this regard a lot of comments have been made. Yet, it should be noted that our familiarity with the very Plato is not considerable; that is, we largely know Plato through Plotinus and Jalinus. The book, A Comparative Study of Plato and Rumi's Thoughts is an attempt to bring to light the impact of Plato on mystical views of Rumi, the great poet and gnostic of seventh century A.H. In this article while introducing this work, reference have been made to certain critical points which can be effective in later edition.
