Abstract

Rumi opposes the methodology of "principled analogy" in Masnavi's place and uses it as a cognitive-perceptual error, but in fact, in his stories, he believes in the kind of logical reasoning to prove and justify the theories, however, based on a unique method that is in the type of the word It has its own logical proportions and its discipline.
This article reviews the appropriateness of Rumi's allegory in the allegorical story of "Lion and Nakhjiran" and then examines his approach to the theory of "types of rationality" and concludes that Rumi's influence on psychological states and human intellectual virtues He considers it effective in his style of reasoning. Although such a method is banished within the framework of Aristotelian logic and even new logic derived from the analytic tradition, today's approaches to rationality consider such a method inevitable, prevalent and current, because reasoning and authority are fundamentally present in such a world and in real life. A politician follows, so one can claim that Rumi was not unaware of the subtle truth.
