In the present article, which is in the field of aesthetics, first the concept of aesthetics is defined and then some of Attar Neyshayuri's theories and the reasons for being artistic and poetry literature through emotional and aesthetic propositions are discussed. Beauty is relative and can be studied according to historical, geographical and cultural conditions. Aesthetic criteria include a variety of items that differ from one nation to another. Attar Neyshabouri is a teacher of beauty and aesthetics and love in his Masnavi is the manifestation of human attraction to beauty and perfection. Attar considers beauty as two types: one is spiritual beauty in which the world is the manifestation of Hazrat Haqq. Another type of beauty is the apparent beauty in which the earthly lover is the manifestation of divine beauty. The use of aesthetic elements in poetry, the perception of the poet's emotion and perception by the audience and the attention to the ease of refraining from Attar Neyshabouri's Masnavi are some of the factors that have a great impact on aesthetic perception. wo
