A Survey in Political& Social Thought of Parvin Etessami

In this article we classify critical surveys and judges on Parvin Etessami and her poems in three groups. Some scholars have called Parvin a static traditionalist conservative non-revolutionary and nonpolitical poet without any definite and disciplined polito-socialthought. Some others on the contrary have known her a dynamic modern radical militant revolutionary and political poet. Finally between these two spectra some scholars and critics have seen a kind of dichotomy and ambiguity in Pavin`s poems.By discovering this paradox through applying some theoric discourses on political thought political philosophy and ideologies this article claims that Parvin Etessami is neither political nor non-political poet but a responsible one and in her poems we can find this positin inthe form of diverse aspects of responsibility and commitment in relation to ethical social and political issues of Iran and human society.
