Abstract: (162 Views)
Therefore, our main question is what semiotic model can be sought in the context of these philosophical theories, what is the evolutionary relationship of these models with each other and what is the relationship between the Iranian semiotic model and the West.
The findings show in the Iranian philosophical tradition, in the heritage of Farabi and Avicenna, an epistemic system which has roots in Aristotelian and Neoplatonic thinking based on rational presupposition of priori categories. To them, the beginning of the sign is where the active intellect adapts the forms of a prior art imaginable to material matters. As a result, Farabi and Avicenna represent a semiotic system in a modern sense. But Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra introduce an evolutionary epistemic system, indicating the beginning of the abstract movement of the thinkers. This theory is similar to the ideas of the Renaissance in Europe and adapts to the modernist theories of semiotics. According Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra, there are no selfsame signs. In their semiotics, except by the mind, the sign cannot reach the field of creativity and semantic interpretation. For them, the sign flows through the steady evolution of sensory differentiation into abstract and collective space. We show in his paper the usefulness of this implicit semiotics as a method for textual analyzing by analyzing a visual-verbal literary text.
