The Study of " No-where" (Nākojā Ābād) Concept in Two Persian Treatises of Sohrawardi Beasd on Cognitive Metaphor Theory

For the first time Sohrawadi employed the term “No-where” (Nākojā Ābād) in his works to describe the “realm world”، which is the world out of the general perception humans. This paper investigates the two treatises of Sohrawardi، “The Song of Gabriel’s Wing “(Avāze pare Jebraīl) and “In the Fact of Love” (Fi-Al- Haqiqat- o- al Eshq). The author، based on the analysis of the “No-where” metaphorical mappings، has shown that the central metaphor of No-where is place while No-where is placeless. This indicates that the macro-support of No-where is an ideal realm. In other words، Sohrawardi، based on his mentality towards the example world، has applied various semantic generalizations at the level of micro-metaphors to describe and visualize No-where. In the current research، the aim of the author was to illustrate some of the most extensive metaphorical patterns of “No-where” in the two mentioned works and explain how Sohrawardi، within an aesthetic and yet philosophical and mystical framework، has expressed his own view about this place.
