خلاصة:
"Wisdom" can be considered the most important concept presented in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. This concept takes on a political color when placed in the arena of governing the country and the actions of rulers, and can be referred to as "political wisdom." To address political wisdom and its aspects and functions, it is necessary to be aware of its foundations and structures. These foundations, which can be extracted from ancient Iranian texts (from which Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is largely influenced), include: 1- Time, 2- Space-Place, 3- Creation, 4- Fortune, 5- Good and Evil. The aforementioned concepts encompass the totality of Ferdowsi's thought and thinking, including the most important of them; wisdom in its general, multi-dimensional and fluid sense, and political wisdom meaning the character and method of governing the country.
