Structure of Structures in Another Perspective(1) مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

However, in the sciences that Mir Sayyid Sharif has addressed, "agriculture," "music," "the art of official correspondence and communications" (which is the science of understanding the administrative structure of the state), mechanics, and chemistry have been entirely omitted, giving way to a vast volume of Sufi terms and concepts, especially the Sufism of Ibn Arabi. This very omission of agriculture, music, mechanics, chemistry, and the art of official correspondence is sufficient to demonstrate the perspective of Mir Sayyid Sharif's contemporaries, especially since overflowing the book with Sufi concepts and terminology can, in itself, be considered a prominent sign of decline. I do not mean that logical and rational propositions are entirely absent in Mir Sayyid Sharif's book, but if we compare a common section between these two books—which would be in the domain of pure sciences of the ancient world, such as geometry or arithmetic—the type of "method" and the language that our authors employ in this specific field is completely different. If one day a student from the fields of "Philosophy," "History," or "History of Science" performs a precise scientific analysis of these two books from these perspectives, to which I have only alluded, they can demonstrate the negative and devastating impact of the Tatar invasion and the dominance of Ash'arism and Sufism—especially the Sufism of Ibn Arabi—on all domains of Iranian culture, and this is one of the most essential issues of our social and cultural history.
