Ferdowsi in his masterpiece, Shahnameh has revealed his thoughts and beliefs in some segments of his work. One of the most important occasions where he has spoken his thoughts repeatedly for about 80 times throughout Shahnameh are the verses in which he composed after almost every tragic event or death of kings, heroes and, other characters. In those verses, Ferdowsi has expressed his hatred towards the world’s hypocrisy, ruthlessness and, disloyalty. In these segments-which in this paper has been referred to as Ferdowsi’s complaints- the poet according to Burke’s theory of dramatism emphasizes on the scene for communication. Emphasis on scene in communication according to Burke’s theory is associated with philosophical fatalism which is a doctrine that stresses the subjugation of all events or actions to destiny, and is commonly accompanied with the consequent attitude of resignation in the face of future events which are thought to be inevitable. Among factors that have contributed to the formation of this attitude in Ferdowsi’s complaints, one is Shahnameh itself which is the story of the deterioration of the Persian Empire and other is the social, economic and political instability of Iran after the Arab conquest until 10th century A.D. Shahnameh and the social, economic and political instability of Iran can be seen as the common grounds (substance) Ferdowsi and his audience shared in this period of history. This paper studies the factors that helped to generate the common grounds between Ferdowsi and his audience

The Shahnameh that wrote by Abolghasem Ferdowsi Tusi, an iranian poet, about one thousand years ago is not only a literary and simple book, but also an essential and fundemental part of Iranian culture and identity. Interpreting and analyzing this huge book by interdisciplinary approaches and using different knowledge; primarily, criminal science can lead to its revival providing the readers with profound insight. The legal ontology of the world of Shahnameh introduces the concepts and historical legal institutions of ancient Iran to us. The essay is mostly a review and understanding Iran's law history that lets us briefly review some aspects of criminal procedure in ancient Iran. In this regard, by interpreting of Siyavash's story, we have attempted to compare the principles of fair trial to Siyavash criminal process. We have studied the story by a narrow-minded approach based on interpreting the "Innocence principle", "unification of investigation procecution" and "Ordeal".

Archetypes as indicators of analytic psychology can be effective in in-depth historical analysis. In this research, after defining the archetypes and introducing the local and Mobad archetypes, the role of such psychological talents in ulama’s response to the events (political, social and cultural) occurred during the Middle Islamic era were examined. The main question is as follows: To what extent have the scholars of Islam in the cultural geography of Iran been affected by such archetypes? The question can be answered through determining and analyzing some behaviors of the ulama in the social, cultural, and even individual fields. The research findings indicate a distinction focusing on the return to the old religious ideas potentially possessed by Islamic scholars. According to the nature of the subject, an analytical method was adopted in this study.
