A comparative study of Showed of the Concepts of Suhrawardi’s Illumination Philosophy in Iranian Miniature and Traditional Music

The Philosophy of Suhrawardi's Illumination including Iranian-Islamic concepts can be a basis for examining the subject of ruling in traditional arts. The existence of ontology and the epistemological status of beauty as a concept and the beautiful matter as its research aspect have provided the grounds for aesthetic reflections in this regard. Despite the historical breakthroughs and the influence of foreign cultures, the developments of Iranian miniature and traditional music have been relatively continuous and there are many formal and thematic commonalities in the works of different periods. The purpose of this study was to answer the question of what are the differences and similarities in the way the concepts of Illumination phiosophy are expressed in Iranian traditional music and painting. The method of this research was applied-theoretical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method of implementation with an adaptive approach. The information was also obtained through library methods. The results show that the concepts of Illumination Philosophy have been manifested as content in Iranian painting and music, and Iranian miniature and music in the position of the form are the manifestation of the concepts of Illumination Philosophy. This two-way relationship suggests that there are precise concepts behind artistic forms, which are the reasons for the formation of structure and examples in the field of miniature and traditional music and in other words, the language that expresses these concepts.
