Mystical-Psychological Analysis of Human Mental Confrontations in Feyz Kashani's Poetry

     The basis of human existence is based on the binary opposition of the external and internal spheres. These are the most important functions in the mind which reveal the contradictory dimensions of human existence. On the one hand, Feyz Kashani, was influenced by Quranic and Islamic teachings and on the other, he was inspired by philosophical and theological thoughts of his age; therefore by combining these scientific foundations with epistemological ones, he tries to the discover the psychological foundations and hidden aspects of humanity in the layers of human characters which helps clarify his vision of the dual confrontations of human. Given necessity and importance of this agenda, in the present study, the authors firstly focus on the status of human and his relationship with the eternal divine source, then based on the contradictory aspects of human existence in Feyz Kashani’s poetry such as pain and pleasure, authority, doubt and certainty, such aspects are analyzed and studies based on a mystical-psychological approach. What distinguishes the achievement of this research from other achievements, is that mysticism as a source of balance and evolution and as a science of contemporary psychology has given mental stability to the poetry of Feyz Kashani.
