تحليل نگاشت هاي معرفتي در دفتر سوم مثنوي معنوي

Maulavi, a poet an‎d mystic of the 7th century an‎d the shining jewel of the sea of mysticism has always tried to build a bridge from the world to meaning by using similes. Similes are a passage on the infinite road of knowledge an‎d are considered a tool of knowledge. The purpose of this research is to analyze the epistemological methods of Rumi in the third book of Masnavi Ma`navi by examining explanatory an‎d clarifier allegories an‎d their mappings.In examining mappings, the author relies on American linguists, George Lakoff an‎d Mark Johnson`s perspective on "Conceptual metaphor". In this research, by using library data an‎d descriptive analytical method, it has been discussed how the mapping in the third book opens a door to the understan‎ding of the audience through metaphors, an‎d with a critical approach, it was clarified in which places Maulavi used explanatory metaphors to further explain the themes an‎d in which places he used clarifier allegory in order to provide a definition of terms an‎d clarify them, an‎d why. It is assumed that clarifier allegories are lacking in terms of argumentative topics an‎d lead to incomplete mappings, even if they bring the audienceʹs mind closer to the level of perception an‎d persuasion. The results of the present study show that in the third book of Masnavi, the ratio of clarifier allegories to explanation is less an‎d the use of clarifier allegories has major reasons; Such as the poetʹs inevitability to explain the most abstract mystical concepts while allegorizing, the poetʹs concern about the misunderstan‎ding of the audience in the case of clarifying mystical concepts, the necessity of speaking to the extent of the audienceʹs understan‎ding, the haste to express deep mystical concepts, proving that not everyone is worthy of making allegory, an‎d the need to have a high existential capacity to receive the secrets of truth. Also, the present research shows that the poet himself is dissatisfied with the use of clarifier allegory; Although it is inevitable to ask for help from them at times.
