The Place and Aesthetic Function of the Philosophy of Love and Unity in Twentieth-Century Azerbaijani Poetry
Öz
Literature serves beauty. Since the orientation toward supreme beauty is the fundamental aim of art, in the Middle Ages literature existed with all its poetic tools and possibilities, and, in Hegel’s words, transformed “classical art into a form of artistic religion.” This quality, as a metaphysical feature, has also been transferred into artistic thought through memory intertextuality. For those who regard the word as a means of sacred perception, the thinking style of Nizami Ganjavi, Khagani Shirvani, Ibn Arabi, Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, Imadaddin Nasimi, Yunus Emre, Muhammad Fuzuli, and others has also become a school of thought. Since ancient times, even images from Turkic mythology were transformed into complex mystical-sufi symbols in the Middle Ages and have traveled a long path through the wings of artistic creation. This article primarily examines the forms of manifestation and the mechanisms of influence of the Sufi-mystical ideas of the Eastern thinker and poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi in the works of the 20th-century Azerbaijani poet Aliagha Vahid. One of the poets whose reflections on life, existence, and art are confirmed in the works of the classics is Aliagha Vahid (1895–1965). At a time when his contemporaries turned to new Soviet themes such as kolkhoz and sovkhoz life, Vahid embraced the ghazal, demonstrating his loyalty to the supreme mission of art. Core ideas in Rumi’s philosophy—such as approaching God, spiritual and mystical development, inner journey, the energetic charge of a priori archetypes, the search for metaphysical meaning, purification of the self, and the comprehension of inner truths—are reflected in Vahid’s work in accordance with the linguistic and intellectual norms of the 20th century.
