An Investigation and Analyzing of Principals of Existentialism Philosophy in Sohrab Sepehri's Poetry

Existentialism was one of the most important philosophical schools of the twentieth century, which featured prominent figures such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre, had a great influenced on literary movement. Existentialism has been translated into Persian by the originality of existence. The primacy of existence on the nature, individuality, freedom, immortality of inwardness, inefficacy of the universe and existential emotions, such as sadness and anxiety, are the basis of this philosophical movement. Sohrab Sepehri is one of the most prominent contemporary poets who have had many existential concerns about his poems. These concerns are presented in his works such as eight books. This study seeks to explain the main principles of the philosophy of existentialism in Sepehri's eight books. The central subject of this study is to what extent Sohrab's thinking is consistent with the philosophical principals of this school. The research method is qualitative and library study based on content analysis. The despair and grief of Sohrab from the current state of the world, his deep emotions, death, loneliness, genuine life, as well as the turning of the attention of the audience to the transcendental matter are among the factors that show the tinge of existentialist philosophy in his poem. Loneliness and sadness, love, the quiddity of life and death, and the transcendent, including the philosophical principles of existentialism, are also seen in eight Sohrab books.
