Abstract: (182 Views)
Statecraft, or what is called modern politics in the Shahnameh, has prosperity and authenticity combined with knowledge and insight. The foundation of Shahriari and governance is based on the two principles of truth and justice. Ferdowsi′s Shahnameh is one of the greatest and most influential epics works of Iran and the world. This great work can be studied and researched from different aspects. In many stories of Shahnameh, a manifestation of positive psychology can be explored.
One of the most outstanding literary works in the field of Persian literature is Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, which contains characterisations, depictions of lofty and ideal human goals, references to desirable solutions to improve the quality of life, and so on. In his literary masterpiece, Ferdowsi has mentioned the human being and its positive dimensions, and has provided extensive explanations in relation to idealistic figures such as Ky Khosrow - who go beyond the usual norms of society. In this regard, the present research, by applying Seligman's psychological opinions, will examine and analyse other aspects of Shah Kiani's personality and Shahriari's and Pahlavi's actions in order to answer the following questions: a) Which of the characteristics of positivist psychology emphasised by Seligman are prominent in the character of Khosrow? b) By approaching Seligman's intellectual foundations, can Shah Kiani be considered a positive and self-fulfilling person?
