Phenomenological Approach in Sohrab Sepehri's Poem

Sohrab Sepehri’s poems are of the most enigmatic literary works in the modern Persian poetry. The present research indicates that Sepehri was seriously under the influence of phenomenological views in his last works which pervasively transformed his characteristics of thought and his poetry content، language and style. There are many similarities between his ideas and thoughts with those of many Phenomenologists، especially Edmund Husserl’s. The great presence of the poet’s thoughtful “I” (Ego) in defining the phenomena and propositions، expressing doubt in traditional and scientific teachings، Suspending presuppositions and referring to the origin of objects، emphasizing on perception and comprehension of the phenomena، redefining concrete and abstract phenomena، breaking the habits، having a multi dimensional view، and recommending to discover latent dimensions of the phenomena، suspending the indication of words، presenting a different formalism and fundamentalist changes in syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis of the language as well as contemplating the different nature of “solitude” in his last five works are of the signs of Sepehri’s phenomenological approach. In fact، expressions such as meaning، intuition، experience، journey، passing، awareness، perception، comprehension، direction، dimension، etc. in a great collocation in Sepehri’s poems lie in the network of semiotics of phenomenology.
