Evolution of the Persian language – Dr. Javad Tabatabai
Although the Persian language in the Islamic period, very soon was able to interpret what Hegel said about the German language: A philosopher like Ibn Sina was able to explain the entire system of the philosophy of the path in a more or less stable Persian language, but it gradually turned away from the expression of concepts and into the language of poetic images..
Thus, in the next evolution, during the flourishing period of poetry, the Persian language was able to express some philosophical concepts in poetic language, but philosophers could not explain poetic images in a philosophical system..
Unlike Greece, whose philosophers such as Plato were able to transform the expression of a myth into a philosophical system, in Iran, the visual expression of poetry prevailed over the system of concepts..
On the other hand, a conceptual understanding of poetry was not possible, contrary to what happened in German philosophy, and philosophers gave a conceptual interpretation of poetry..
However, Persian in its current form, which combines the strengths of two different and opposite Indo-Iranian and Semitic languages, is a "philosophical" language..
I bring this adverb "strengths of two languages" from the point of view that the current Persian language, in the realm of thought, as it was discussed with writers like Mohammad Ali Foroughi, for example, is the language of "Persian head" and one should not think that it can be He left one of its strengths aside, without harming the Persian language as a language for the system of concepts.
