The concept of Disinterestedness is one of the fundamental concepts in aesthetic experience which comes to mind in the name of Kant. Kant examined it at the first moment of his First Critique. Indeed, disinterested experience or in other words, Disinterestedness is a unique character of aesthetic experience that makes it distinct from other experiences. Reviewing the thoughts of philosophers before Kant, it can be seen that this concept was even raised before Kant, but it has received little attention, then. In this regard, the following article is based on verifying the issue that how exactly the concept of Disinterestedness is, and in what context it is discussed based on the thoughts of philosophers before Kant and what changes it have been undergone.

Correct reading of Sadra wisdom coordinates and its epistemic determination can play an important role in understanding and interpretation of issues of transcendental philosophy. Regardless of eclectic look to the philosophy of Mullah Sadra and doubt about it as an independent school of thought, theories exist that speak of epistemic determination of philosophy of Mullah Sadra. This article firstly offers Sadra wisdom coordinates and in it, philosophy as a discipline and discipline with geometric identity and nature of the network, including the approach, principles, methods and goals of not only a series of issues. In the next step, two reductionist views of Mulla Sadra's philosophy is studied and criticized; At first glance, the considered philosophy as the Theology, his philosophy is reduced a set of textual evidence to prove or set of ideas has proven with the help of philosophical arguments by theological Approach. And at second glance, the argument arises only in the judgment of the philosophy of Sadra. And at the end of Sadra's philosophy as a new paradigm and a variety of methods and resources beyond the limits of Theology and theological approach and the exclusive current of argument includes the analysis, argument, intuition argument and intuition.

According to the common sense, literature as a collection of literary works is considered as a conventional concept. However, in this regard, we face some questions like what distinguishes a literary text from a non-literary one? how is it possible for a heterogeneous collection of text to be included under the category of literature? what does the literariness of a text depend on? and how can we analyze the literariness? Such questions indicate that studying literature faces many challenges. In addition, lack of a well-structured approach to literature and its contents and concepts have resulted in a situation where scientific study and exegesis of literary works are not but a weak collection of research studies with instable criteria that do not facilitate the study of literature properly and fruitfully. Regarding the questions and the necessity mentioned, in the present paper, presenting a definition of literature, we intend to come up with the fundamental elements of literariness. Afterward, these elements shall be investigated and the manifestation of them in literary works shall be identified. In doing so, our approach to literary elements shall be aesthetical and they shall be studied from Aesthetical Experience Theory point of view. Finally, we shall deal with the outlets of the manifestation of these elements in literary texts in order to identify the organization governing such a phenomenon. The main intention of this study is exploring the recurring structure of the motifs in literary texts on the basis of a homogenous theoretical approach to literature.

Today, one of the important issues in the field of epistemology is the impact of non-epistemic factors on human religious belief. William James (1842-1919) is the first one who attributed only one factor among the eight to have influence on the belief development process to reasoning and considered the other seven factors non-epistemic. He suggested that human beliefs are formed in light of non-epistemic factors. According to his viewpoints, religion and religious beliefs are phenomena belonging to the human psyche dimension which is inner and individual. He considered religion to be associated with human emotional dimension rather than ideological one. This paper will identify that William James considers religion only a subset of emotional issues and suggests that the impact of non-epistemic factors on religious beliefs is very high. However, emotion and thought cannot be separated from each other. With reference to religious texts such as the Quran, we realize that the intellectual cognition is important in the faith parallel to emotional dimensions, and one is not merely affected by emotions in accepting the religious content but also she makes a choice using her thought. In this paper, we attempt to clarify whether the development process of human beliefs is formed apart from non-epistemic dimensions, or human existential dimensions (yet differentiated from each other) are in such interaction with each other that one cannot simply determine that the epistemic dimension is independent from other dimensions so the epistemic or emotional dimensions of human belief cannot enter the cognition domain in an independent manner.

Recognized as the first philosophers who innovated some philosophical approaches to love in the Greek and Islamic traditions, Plato and Avicenna included love among the jewels of philosophical issues, and wrote some treatises on analysis of love that became the precursors of a novel philosophical approach. Inspired by those who followed Plato’s Symposium to explain love in the Islamic tradition, Avicenna in his Risalah fil-'Ishq (A Treatise on Love), presents some ideas that are almost parallel to those of Plato's. However we should not ignore the differences that distinguish both treatises from each other. The resemblance often lies in their ontological analysis of love and their discrepancies can be found in their semantic and methodological analysis of love. Within both philosophical masterpieces, the position of knowledge in true love, interweaving of love and need as well as the objective of love are all exposed to serious scrutiny. But their conceptualizations of love and explanation method are thoroughly distinctive. In this comparative content analysis of the two treatises, we hope to reveal latent nuances in both thinkers' approaches to love.

Wittgenstein's view on the so-called “private language argument” is among the most important parts of his school of thought in the second period of his philosophical life. Here, there is one basic question that is whether we can imagine a language whose terms are merely understandable for the person using it. Whilst by giving reference to the lack of condition available to explicate the meaning of internal entities and feelings, Wittgenstein rejects the idea that such terms and words are private, and he argues that this language is not acceptable and imaginable because our sensory language depends on the physical world. In this article, we firstly try to analyze the concept of introspection to conceive a better perception of the private language argument. Then, we will investigate Wittgenstein’s approach about the so-called “private language argument” which is based on two fundamental concepts, namely meaning condition and Rule-guided argument, and will show how he is able to express his argument with a realistic attitude of meaning.
