| Abstract | ||
| According to Islamic philosophy especially Mulla-Sadra’s wisdom, it is considered three forms of being for human in accordance with three realms: matter, imagination and intellect. In each of these, mankind has different kind of cognition and deed. But also some of perceptions and deeds is accounted to the heart. Three different views about the heart and its relation to the intellect are found among Muslim philosophers and mystics. In the present study, according to Allameh Tabataba’i’s reading of Sadra’s transcendent wisdom, “heart” is introduced as the virtual metaphor of the soul or the very truth of man, which is above all three areas of human existence. From the viewpoint of Allameh Tabataba’i, perception of beauty is a kind of presential knowledge and has a direct relationship with the heart, and consequently affects it. Therefore, he considers an important role for beauty and adornment in human life and considers it necessary for human social life. He considers man's attention to beauty according to his powers and needs and as a result of divine inspiration so that the aesthetic view has a great impact on the completion of human existence and describes art and literature as one of the most important constructional perceptions of every society. | ||
