Abstract:
By viewing the spiritual issues and art philosophy, investigating Fotowatnameh shows that one of the grounds of human's spiritual growth is craft and artistry. This study with descriptive-analytic method has aimed to show what theoretical and practical strategies are for this spiritual conduct. In the first type of corporatism Fotowatnameh, teachings and concepts related to each craft have been mentioned and knowing them are emphasized. These teachings are so important that, in some Fotowatnameh, knowing them is the condition of beginning the job. Then, practical strategies have been presented to direct an artist and artificer toward conduct in the ethics. Some of them are recommended before beginning the job and craft, and others are advised within each stage of craft and ,in many cases, there is close relation between craft and strategies.
Machine summary:
Theoretical and Practical Solutions for the Spiritual Path of the Artist In the Charter of Futuwwat-namas Ahmadreza Ebrahimi / Level 3 student of Qom Seminary and PhD student in Art Research, Shahed University, Tehran (Corresponding Author).
However, there seems to be a type of classification of the contents of the Futuwwat-namas that has more relevance to the mystical tradition and is as follows: A) Theoretical strategies and foundations of spiritual path (Suluk): By stating a series of religious and ethical knowledge and beliefs, in order to create a spiritual foundation and an esoteric view of art, the Futuwwat-namas teach the artist matters that can influence all stages of their work and give it meaning.
A significant part of this knowledge leads to creating a close connection between the outward appearance of the work and its inner essence; at this stage, the Futuwwat-nama goes further and seems to hold the belief that behind every behavior and stage of practicing a profession, there are hidden wisdom-based meanings, and no action is without meaning.
The most important cases in theoretical wisdom for creating spiritual path are as follows: 1- Recommendation to know the Futuwwat-nama The previous step at the beginning of the profession for the people of Futuwwa is the recommendation to know these very Futuwwat-namas.
