The Relationship between "Reason and Love" in Sonnet Based on the idea: "Love as a Journey"

The relationship between reason and love in mystical ideology has long been considered by mystics and scholars of mysticism. This relationship can be seen as the result of the rise of the confrontation of mystical thinking with philosophical thinking and the rejection of the philosophy of reason and the rejection of reason in the understanding of the truth in the fifth century. The relationship between reason and love in mystical poetry is presented in two ways: "Conflict and Continuity". In some cases, reason as opponent is always outstretched against the love, and in some other cases, reason as a leader in the risky path of love until the destination is the truth. Attar Nishaburi is one of the mystics who considers love as a journey of experience towards a beloved and, in this way, believes in stages and contexts in which reason is one of them. From this point of view, reason has not no conflict with the concept of love. The significance of this kind of view in Attar's intellectual system is that it does not put mystical thinking in opposition to reason and does not reduce it to the extent of the emotional intuition of escaping reason. In this article we are going to bring wisdom and love within the framework. Conceptual metaphor and metaphorical mapping "love as a journey" examine the role of reason in this experience.
